******************
Jerry also played for the Jersey Larks and Knoxville Knights. He started out as a right-winger, scoring 44 goals on Clinton's top line in 1955-56, his first year out of juniors (Peterborough Petes). After a year in England, with Wembley, Jerry came back to the states to play defense for the Johnstown Jets. He paired with all-star defenseman Dave Lucas for some of his stay in Johnstown. On January 8, 1959 he was picked up by the Philadelphia Ramblers, the team he played the bulk of his career with. Frizzelle scored a lot of key goals for the Jersey Larks playoff push in 1961. He was listed as right wing in his brief 8-game stint with Knoxville, but was back at defense for the remainder of his career with the Ramblers.******************
