ElwoodCuse Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 I saw Rico Fata wearing an "R. FATA 9" jersey against the Devils tonight. Strange, because his brother Drew is pretty well set in the ECHL right now and his home black jersey says simply "FATA". Did Drew ever play a preseason game for Pittsburgh? All I can figure is this jersey from tonight is a rebadged leftover from a preseason game where they both played for the Pens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 I noticed that as well, and while I don't have an answer to the question, your theory seems as legit as any. At first I thought they may have recalled Drew since they just brought up Christensen and Whitney, but I guess not. I didn't notice this earlier in the season, either.

Francis10 Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Drew was in training camp at least for a while... probably for the first 2 exhibition tilts or so. I would bet that it was a rebranded training camp jersey... something must have happened to his regular roadie. Although with how badly the Pens are playing, calling up an ECHL guy might not be the worst idea to improve the team... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Drew was recently promoted to the WBS Penguins. That might explain it.http://www.wbspenguins.com/News/110205_Fata_Verbeek.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eww7633 Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Wow, being a Pens fan, I NEVER thought I would see a topic about Rico Fata anywhere. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElwoodCuse Posted November 14, 2005 Author Share Posted November 14, 2005 I noticed during the Rangers game the other night that now his black jersey says R. Fata too. Drew should be getting excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveToms Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Speaking of Fata, the word Bust comes to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
