BILOXI, Miss. - The Mississippi Sea Wolves announced today the signing of free agent center Jean-Sebastien Gagnon from the Junior "A" Hockey League in Aylmer, Quebec.
Gagnon, 18, is the son of Sea Wolves General Manager Jean Gagnon. The 5-11 and 160-pound rookie will wear number 22 for Mississippi.
"Because we have a short bench, Coach Bob Woods asked if we could sign him up and I said sure," beamed General Manager Jean Gagnon. "He plays against 20 and 21-year-olds in Junior A and it will be nice to see him on the ice. Jean-Sebastien is a good player but he still has to put on a few pounds before he can play regular in this league."

Tomorrow, Mississippi continues its' road swing in Lafayette, Louisiana beginning at 7:05 p.m. against the Louisiana IceGators.
