"Ethan O'Rourke's size is a great supplement for our depth and we're excited to welcome him to the Silvertips family," said Davidson. "He brings a reputation of great mobility for his frame and a skill set that has potential. We appreciate Ethan Browne's time spent with us and wish him nothing but the best for the future of his career."
