Defenseman Croix Evingson has been returned to the team by the Manitoba Moose (AHL).
Goaltender Hayden Hawkey has agreed to the terms with the Icemen and has been added to the active roster.
WHELAN
Whelan, 24, joins the Icemen after posting three points (2g, 1a) in ten AHL games with the Wolf Pack last season. Before his professional career, the 6-0, 210-pound rookie forward played four seasons at Quinnipiac University, totaling 78 career points (48g, 30a).
Sanchez, 23, comes to Jacksonville after logging five points (2g, 3a) in eight appearances with Hartford last season. From 2019-2021, Sanchez played two seasons at Arizona State University, where he accumulated 56 points, including a 40-point campaign in the 2019-20 season. The 6-2, 198-pound forward also played two collegiate seasons at the University of Michigan from 2016-2018.
Evingson, 23, returns to the Icemen from Manitoba’s Training Camp. Evingson was signed by the Icemen earlier in the offseason and appeared in seven games with Jacksonville late last season. Before joining the Icemen, the 6-5, 229-pound blueliner registered 11 points in 21 games during his final season at Niagara University.
HAWKEY
Hawkey, 26, enjoyed a productive collegiate career at Providence College (2015-2019). The 6-2, 180-pound goaltender totaled a 72-36-13 record, with a whopping 16 shutouts, a 1.94 goals-against average, and a 0.923 save percentage during his four seasons at Providence. Last season, Hawkey made ECHL appearances with the Wheeling Nailers, Tulsa Oilers, and Allen Americans.
On Saturday (October 16), the Icemen will host an intrasquad scrimmage beginning at 3:15 p.m. at the Community First Igloo. Admission is free.
The Icemen’s home opener for their 2021-2022 All-Star Season is set for November 6 against the South Carolina Stingrays.
