The
Missouri Mavericks announced Saturday the Central Hockey League (CHL)
team has signed defenseman Jesse Perrin and waived defenseman Kyle
Atkins. The Mavericks received the rights to Perrin as part of the
future considerations in the trade that sent Brian Bicek and Matt
McCready to the Arizona Sundogs in exchange for Kyle Hood and future
considerations. This completes the trade and no further considerations
are owed for this transaction.
“Jesse
Perrin is an elite, stay-at-home defenseman who will significantly
bolster our blue line,” said Mavericks’ President and General Manager
Brent Thiessen “As we continue to build our roster for not only the
present, but for a playoff push, we believe he will be a big asset to
our organization.”
Perrin,
25 (5/5/87), started this season with the ECHL’s Evansville IceMen. In
17 games in the ECHL, the Crossfield, Alberta native had three assists
and four penalty minutes. Prior to his time in the ECHL, the 6-foot-1,
200-pound defenseman played three seasons in the CHL with the Rio Grande
Valley Killer Bees and most recently for the Arizona Sundogs. In three
seasons in the CHL, Perrin totaled four goals, 23 assists and 102
penalty minutes in 149 games played.
Atkins played in 17 games with the Mavericks.
“Kyle
came in and competed very hard, he shows a lot of promise,” said
Mavericks’ Head Coach Scott Hillman. “We wish him the best and will
continue to watch his progress.”
