Allen, Texas - The Allen Americans, ECHL affiliate of the Minnesota Wild, and partner Globe Life are proud to announce that the team has signed forward Colton Heffley for the 20-21 season.
Colton Heffley joined the Americans late last year from college, playing in eight games, while adding a goal and two penalty minutes.
Heffley played four full seasons of collegiate hockey at Dalhousie University, in Canada, from 2016 to 2020. His best season came in 17-18, where he put up 21 points in 26 games (12 goals and 9 assists).
