Toledo Walleye News Release
Toledo, OH - Forward Dane Walters has agreed to terms with the Toledo Walleye for the 2016-17 season. This year marks the third consecutive for Walters in a Walleye uniform after appearing in 14 contests this past season with four goals and three assists. The St. Paul, Minnesota native has 24 points (13G, 11A) in 41 contests over his first two seasons with the Walleye. Walters has also split the prior two years with Rockford of the AHL in which he has posted nine points (3G, 6A) over 49 games for the IceHogs. "Dane can be characterized as hard to play against," Head Coach Dan Watson said. "He is a smart player that can play any forward position and will excel. He worked very hard to get an opportunity over the past two years in the AHL and will bring that same effort to Toledo."
