He did better in more appearances as a rookie for Rapid City Rush, striking for 2 goals and 7 assists with another +2.

The former University Of New England Nor’easters‘ senior captain may not stick close to home, but seems to play pretty well and strong here.

He takes a minute to consider, but he re-signs to return to Maine, where he easily feels very close.

2nd year defenseman Ryan Lieth(6) was loaned up from 3 season SPHL team, Fayetteville Marksmen after 20 game stint in the current frame to Wheeling Nailers, where he has scored a 1st ECHL goal in 12 games and looks pretty comfortable out there.

From Lincoln, RI, the 24-year old left two seasons with 10+ goals and 10+ assists in college hockey.

He finished his ato with 3 goals and 1 assist and a -5 rating, but they see something they want to continue and sign him up for his official rookie season, 2023/2024.

Scoring ok for his 1st year, he definitely needs to bring up that +/-, but he is wanted to return to wear a Gladiators‘ sweater for 2024/2025.

He grabs 7 goals and 5 assists last season, but hadn’t figured into a game yet this season, so gets dished to Adirondack Thunder to see if they can turn the magic.

He gets picked up after 5 games, no points by Wheeling Nailers on an earlier future considerations deal, but in 9 outings has yet to hit the score sheet, almost surprisingly.
