Francesco Arcuri joins growing list of Kitchener Rangers called up to pro teams

The parade of Kitchener Rangers heading on to professional leagues since season’s end continued on Monday as Francesco Arcuri has been reassigned to the Texas Stars by the Dallas Stars.

The 19-year-old was a midseason acquisition by Kitchener, who finished 10th on the OHL scoring list after netting 48 goals while seeing up 43 others.

Arcuri is the fifth Ranger to have been called up to the NHL or AHL since Kitchener was knocked out of the playoffs by the London Knights.

Finally, netminder Marco Constatini has been given a tryout deal with the Vancouver Canucks’ AHL affiliate in Abbotsford B.C.
