Former IceGators RW Adam Stuart, traded to Peoria for C Alex Hudson, has signed a contract with ECHL Evansville. Also returning to the ECHL is defenseman Eric Tallent, who signed up for his third season with the Tulsa Oilers. Tallent played three seasons for the IceGators from 2010-13.
Breaking: News reports from Poland have stated that C Jeremy Boyer, who recently signed with PHL Orlik Opole, is no longer with that team due to undisclosed reasons (the Polish translation is unclear). The IceGators retain Boyer's SPHL rights, and there is a very good chance that he will re-sign with the team. Stay tuned, this story is rapidly developing.
Huntsville also announced their promotional schedule. The Havoc will feature nine different specialty jerseys this season, with themes including Freddy Krueger from A Nightmare on Elm Street (I'd love to see the gloves for that game!), Star Wars, Weiner Dogs, and Batman.
The Ice Flyers also signed a pair of rookies this week. Luke Hannon, a 24-year-old forward from Liberty University was added to the roster, as was Austrian forward Patrick Divjak, who played four years of collegiate hockey at Niagara University before spending last season playing in his native Austria.
Pensacola also announced their promotional schedule for the 2015-16 season, which will feature theme jerseys featuring Minions, the Blue Wahoos baseball team, the movie Top Gun, and throwback Pensacola Ice Pilots jerseys from their years in the ECHL.
Dear IceGators: ECHL throwback sweaters need to happen.
