DUBUQUE, Iowa - The Dubuque Fighting Saints have acquired goaltender Evan Fear (Winnetka, Ill.) from the Springfield Jr. Blues of the North American Hockey League, according to head coach/GM Jason Lammers. Fear, 17, will join the team immediately and will be available to play in Wednesday's game against the Bloomington Thunder.
