Allen Americans News Release
Allen, Texas - The Allen Americans, ECHL affiliate of the Minnesota Wild, announced today the club has signed forward Jacob Doty to a contract for the 2018-2019 season.
Jacob Doty is a 6-foot-4 and 225-pound forward, born in Denver, Colorado in 1993. He spent the last two seasons playing in Europe with the Braehead Clan and Nottingham Panthers of the EIHL. Last season with Braehead he had 35 points in 56 games while adding 157 penalty minutes.
"Everyone knows that Jacob Doty is one of the toughest players in pro hockey," said Americans Head Coach Steve Martinson. "Last year his career high 16 goals, which was third on the team reflects his ability to help his team win games."
With the signing of Jacob Doty today the Americans have released forward Christophe Lalancette.
Doty will join the team for their upcoming three-game trip to Salt Lake City. The Americans ended their long losing streak last night in Tulsa with a 2-0 shutout win.
