STATELINE, NV - The Tahoe Knight Monsters, proud ECHL Affiliate of the NHL's Vegas Golden Knights and the AHL's Henderson Silver Knights, announced today that defenseman Samuel Mayer has signed a one-year contract with the Henderson Silver Knights.

A native of L'Orignal, Ontario, Mayer enters his third season in the Golden Knights organization after skating in four games with the Silver Knights and 59 games for the Knight Monsters last season.
