Forward looks to perform compelling encore after an incredible rookie year

GREENVILLE, S.C. — Arguably, no rookie was as productive as forward Kamerin Nault in 2019. The Winnipeg native has agreed to terms on a Standard Player Contract for the 2019–20 season.
The Winnipeg native finished his career at the University of Manitoba after three seasons and never looked back. He posted 21 points in his first 20 pro games—12 of them were goals. He shot a blisteringly high 19.6% on the year, which led the team.
His incredible accomplishments, including a hat trick, seven multi-point games, and four multi-goal games, netted him a professional tryout with his hometown club, the Manitoba Moose of the AHL. In just one game with the team, he notched a multi-point game, including his first AHL goal, on April 9.
Nault, just 23 years of age, made many a dazzling play. One of them found the top spot on ESPN’s SportsCenter after a deke, followed by a spin-o-rama assist on a tap-in goal by Michael Pelech against the Norfolk Admirals in April.
Even after missing a month due to an injury, Nault could not be cooled off. He scored his first career hat trick against the Kansas City Mavericks, which included the insurance goal in a 5-3 win on March 21.
Nault did most of his damage at even strength. 10 of his 12 goals were at 5-on-5. He showed discipline throughout his 20-game tenure by only committing four minor penalties.
The following players are now under contract for the 2019–20 season:
F – Michael Pelech (29)
F – Johno May (25)
F – Travis Howe (25)
F – Kamerin Nault (23)
D – J.C. Brassard (23)
D – Luke Ripley (25)
