Americans Sign Trevor Ludwig

The native of Rhinelander, Wisconsin, is starting his second season with the Americans. Ludwig played in just 13 games with Allen in 2011-2012, due to AHL call-ups and a season-ending injury.

"I'm excited to be part of the Allen Americans organization again," said Trevor Ludwig. "They made some positive changes in the front office and coaching staff that are big steps in the right direction. Mr. Miller has always wanted this to be as close to an NHL atmosphere as possible, and I know those additions will improve that image."

Ludwig has played in 140 games at the American Hockey League level, with stops at Texas, Norfolk, Manitoba and Iowa over his five-year pro career.

Trevor and his twin brother Tyler were teammates with the Texas Tornado of the NAHL from 2002-2004, the Texas Stars in 2009-2010, and the Allen Americans in 2011-2012.

"It has been a long break from hockey for me due to my injury, so I'm looking forward to getting back on the ice and doing what I love to do. It's a rare thing in hockey to be able to play with a family member, so it's always a bonus to be able to skate on the ice with my twin brother," said Ludwig.

Both Trevor and Tyler Ludwig will be a part of the Allen Americans Youth Camp next week at the Allen Event Center. Season Tickets for the 2012-2013 campaign are now on sale. www.allenamericans.com .
