North Charleston, SC - The South Carolina Stingrays and Head Coach Cail MacLean announced today that rookie Nikita Kashirsky has signed for the 2009-10 season. In keeping with club policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Kashirsky, 24, joined the Stingrays on March 7th last season after finishing his senior year at the University of Norwich (Division III), where he lead the team in goals (17), assists (17), and points (34) while appearing in all 25 games en route to All-ECAC East First Team honors for the second straight campaign.
