6th year center Colin Jacobs(18) takes a career tying 14 goals, new best 17 assists and 31 points with a +11 rating in a split campaign for Atlanta Gladiators and Toledo Walleye to signing with Wichita Thunder for 2018/2019.
Originally a Buffalo Sabres‘ 4th round pick in the 2011 draft (#107 overall) stayed in the system but skated equal time for AHL farm club Rochester Americans and ECHL affiliate Elmira Jackals.
The 6’2″ 206 lbs. forward was not given a qualifying offer once his three year entry level deal was up.
He signed his first minor league deal with Atlanta but after getting off to a super-hot start was sidelined with a season ending shoulder injury.
At 26-years old could definitely use one more successful campaign before the former Seattle Thunderbirds/Prince George Cougars‘ star possibly decides to pursue new opportunities overseas.
