The 24-year old is going to be a great ECHL rookie.
He scored 13 goals and 29 assists in 59 games with a +33 rating and for his 2nd frame with the club is very much in line with 8 goals, 19 assists in 34 with a +18 and he eyes some better hockey to play, signing with SaiPa of the Finnish elite league Liiga going forward.

Nothing strange about that, except the former Ohio Blue Jackets 16U AAA is a Dallas, TX native.

He actually scores 6 goals and 6 assists in 17 games, but maybe his -10 wasn’t all that great, so left for DEL2, signing with EHC Freiburg, maybe taking it up a little in the playoffs.

He played in only 12 games, getting 1 goal and 4 assists.

The 6’1″ 205 lbs. forward, former Tri-City Americans turned pro for a bit, even scoring a 1st AHL goal, but decided to head to Mount Royal University Cougars for a degree and managed to blow up scoring in the process.
When he did turn pro, it looked to be a bit of a wonder as to why he was being reassigned, but when he was with Trois Riviere Lions was a point-per-game skater.
He split for DEL2 from there and did well, but headed for England after 1 season and is looking good.
