ESTERO, Fla. - The Florida Everblades have agreed to terms with defenseman Ross MacDougall on a standard player contract.
MacDougall, 28, joins the Blades after spending the last two seasons in Europe. This year with HC Presov in Slovakia, the right-shot blueliner totalled two goals and 12 assists across 35 games.

Before going pro, MacDougall helped the University of New Brunswick Reds win the University Cup in 2023 as a senior, finishing his Canadian college career with a title after four seasons split between Acadia University and New Brunswick. He played junior hockey in the QMJHL for the Québec Remparts and the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles.
