DANVILLE, IL-- The Vermilion County Bobcats of the Southern Professional Hockey League (SPHL) have signed goaltender Chase Perry to a Training Camp Agreement contract for the 2021-22 season.
Perry, 25, is fresh off a President's Cup victory with the Pensacola Ice Flyers, winning five games during the regular season. His rookie season in 2019-20 featured a 13-8-0 record with a 2.49 goals-against average and .904 save percentage with the Ice Flyers, plus a two-game call-up to the ECHL's Orlando Solar Bears.
"We're looking forward to having Chase come in and make Main Camp very competitive," commented Bobcats head coach Mike Watt. "As an expansion team, we need to make sure we have three really competitive goaltenders, and Chase is a good, experienced goaltender."
A fifth-round pick by the Detroit Red Wings in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, Perry graduated from Division-I Rensselaer Polytechnical Institute (RPI) with an .898 career save percentage and 3.53 goals-against average at the NCAA level.
Perry joins fellow free agent signing Corbin Kaczperski and expansion draft pick Thomas Proudlock in the Bobcats' goaltending corps for Main Camp.
