The Missouri Mavericks announced Sunday forward Kenton Miller has been recalled by the Mavericks’ American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Chicago Wolves.
Miller,
21 (2/10/91) is among the rookie leaders in the Central Hockey League
(CHL) in scoring and goals. The Redvers, Saskatchewan native currently
ranks fifth among all rookies in the CHL with 23 points and his 12 goals
is tied for third among first-year players. Miller is third on the
Mavericks in points and tied for second on the team in goals.
“Kenton
is very deserving of this call-up,” said Mavericks’ Head Coach Scott
Hillman. “He is a top rookie in this league and he is maturing very
quickly. Kenton has learned a lot from the great veteran players on
this team and Simon Watson has spent a lot of one-on-one time with him
working on specific skill areas to better his game. We wish Kenton
great success in Chicago.”
Prior
to turning professional, Miller spent the previous four seasons playing
junior hockey in the Western Hockey League (WHL) for Spokane, Calgary
and Moose Jaw. In 242 games played, Miller finished with 60 goals and
57 assists for 117 points.
The
Mavericks have a pair of games this weekend at Independence Events
Center. On Friday, Jan. 11, the Mavericks host the Tulsa Oilers and on
Saturday, Jan. 12, the Quad City Mallards are at Independence Events
Center.
