Not too crazy bad for a player that skated only 2.5 campaigns in the AHL after 4 years at University Of Alaska-Anchorage Seawolves.

The 5’9″ 172 lbs. 35-year old from Winnipeg, MB has run up awards where he is in one campaign and last year helped win his 1st title, the 2022 DEL Championship in his 2nd year with Eisbären Berlin, so likely wants more with someone else.
Despite doing decently with 13 goals of production in 49 games, he decides at 36-years old to become the player development coach for Tri-City Storm, despite playing no American-based junior hockey.

He played in 15 games to finish off the regular frame with 1 goal and 2 assists, but appear in no playoff games.
For 2023/2024, he signs with Kalamazoo Wings, which will likely give him some league scoring success.

The 6′ 190 lbs. forward plays a power style, effective on the net strikes.
From Maple Grove, MN, the 23-year old will likely only get even better as a senior.
