Laredo Bucks News Release
LAREDO, TX: The Laredo Bucks, of the Central Hockey League, announced Wednesday that they have signed John Kearns for the 2011-2012 season.
John Kearns is 23 years old from Park Ridge, Illinois. Kearns has played the last four seasons for the University of Wisconsin- Eau Claire (NCAA III). He also played last season for the Idaho Steelheads (ECHL).
The 6'0", 205 pound defenseman appeared in all 27 games last season. He has appeared in a total of 104 games for the Blugolds, where he has scored 4 goals and 21 assists. Kearns was named "most dedicated" by his team last year and he also was the team captain. He then joined the Steelheads in March, where he played 10 games and earned 1 assist.
"John is a solid defenseman that will fit in just fine with the team. Although he is a rookie, he was also team captain last year so it shows me that he has leadership skill," says Head Coach Serge Dube. "He is the kind of player that will fit right at home in Laredo."
Kearns is the 14th player signed for the 2011-2012 season.
