Boise, Idaho - The Allen Americans, ECHL affiliate of the NHL's Utah Hockey Club, along with Head Coach and GM Brett Ferguson announced a trade today.
The Americans acquired 6-5, and 210-pound forward Ayden MacDonald, from the Maine Mariners for future considerations.
"Ayden (MacDonald) is a big forward who brings over 200 games of ECHL experience to our lineup which will be valuable to our young team," noted Brett Ferguson. "He's a hard working forward who has a scoring touch, and we look forward to getting him into the lineup".
McDonald played in 16 games for the Mariners this season and had seven points (1 goal and 6 assists).
The native of Langley, British Columbia turned professional in 2002 after four years at Brock University.
He played two seasons with the Greenville Swamp Rabbits (2023 and 2023), and parts of three seasons with the Kalamazoo Wings.
