MACON, GA- The Macon Mayhem and Director of Hockey Operations Kevin Kerr announced today that the team has traded goaltender Tomas Sholl to the Evansville Thunderbolts. Goaltender Troy Passingham and forward Caleb Cameron have also signed contracts to join the Mayhem after short stints in the ECHL.
TOMAS SHOLL TRADED TO EVANSVILLE
Sholl, 23, was the Mayhem's opening night starter and started two of the team's first four games. In those two games, the Hermosa Beach, California native went 0-1-1 with a 4.43 goals against average (GAA) and a .842 save percentage (SV%).
Trading Sholl to Evansville clears space on the Mayhem roster for goaltender Troy Passingham to return, as he was released by the Atlanta Gladiators of the ECHL. The Mississauga, Ontario native was loaned to Atlanta the opening week of the season on Wednesday, October 18.
Last season, the 6-5, 215-pound goaltender served as the backup to President's Cup Playoffs MVP Jordan Ruby. He appeared in 15 games last season, going 8-3-2 with a 2.68 GAA and a .917 SV%.
CALEB CAMERON SIGNS CONTRACT WITH MAYHEM

Cameron, 24, played one game for the Thunder, recording no points. The 5-10, 185-pound forward played four years collegiately for Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) at the NCAA Division I level. In 131 games at RIT, the Sundridge, Ontario native had 20 goals and 38 assists for 58 points.
