Undrafted 2nd year defenseman Mike Banwell(24) faced a bit of uncertainty where he was going to be playing in his sophomore season but eventually signed a deal with Trenton Titans, the team he spent 11 games with on reassignment in 2011/2012.
He played 24 games in his rookie campaign with Albany Devils under an AHL contract, notching 3 assists and appeared in another 11 ECHL contests with the Titans.
The 25-year old was an Adirondack Phantoms‘ training camp tryout invite but was returned to start 2012/2013 with Trenton, where in three games he has an assist.
Not being inked to a contract in the higher league, the 6’2″ 192 lbs. blue liner is free to latch on with any team looking to employ his services on call-up.
Worcester Sharks did just that as their defensive corps are depleted and he was signed to a pto joining the team for their first win of the new season.
