Undrafted center Riley Brace(28) got his hockey legs firmly planted in his AHL debut with a goal and an assist in game one of his pro career.
The 5’11” 180 lbs. player finished up 5-year stint in juniors with Mississauga Steelheads and signed an ato with Worcester Sharks.
What he may lack for in true power forward size, he certainly makes up for in a gritty, tenacious style of game he puts on the ice.
He was a tryout invitee to Los Angeles Kings‘ training camp a couple of seasons ago but must have fallen off their radar.
The just turned 21-year old is a no-brainer for any minor league team to sign in the offseason and our bets are on that he makes enough of an impact that he scores an entry-level deal with a club.
