The 6-1, 180 lb., Fitzgerald had 13 goals and eight assists for 21 points in eight OHL Cup playoff games and was named to the OHL Cup All-Star Team.
"We are thrilled that Colin is a part of the Gamblers organization," said Mike Leone, Green Bay's Head Coach and General Manager. "He's a power forward with the size, skill, intelligence and maturity to make a real impact on our team and league next season. Colin's winning attitude and proven ability to make plays and provide a physical presence is a welcome addition to our hockey club. We could not be happier to welcome him and his family to Green Bay."
"I am very pleased and excited to continue my hockey development path with a great organization like Green Bay," said Fitzgerald. "I look forward to working with Coach Leone and his staff who have been instrumental in this process. I really appreciate this opportunity and look forward to helping the team any way I can. I can't wait to get started."
