Winnipeg, Manitoba -- The Manitoba AAA Midget Hockey League is pleased to announce that Joseph Caligiuri of the Winnipeg Wild has been chosen the BASF Defensive Player of the Month for December.

A 16-year old rookie netminder with the Wild, Caliguiri is currently sitting second in the league with a sparkling 2.15 goals against average.

In his four starts last month, he recorded four wins including a shutout. He was instrumental in the Wild defeating the Thrashers, Parkland Rangers, Central Plains Capitals and AAA Wheat Kings. During those games, he posted a 1.99 goals against average and an impressive .924 save percentage.

Caliguiri was a tenth round pick of the Brandon Wheat Kings in the 2004 WHL Bantam Draft.
