EVANSVILLE, IN - The Evansville IceMen, proud ECHL affiliate of the NHL's Ottawa Senators and the AHL's Binghamton Senators, and Head Coach Al Sims announced Thursday the IceMen traded defenseman Spencer Humphries to the South Carolina Stingrays in exchange for defenseman Brendan Ellis. The trade comes ahead of Thursday's 3pm EST ECHL Trade Deadline.
Humphries, 23, had two goals and 16 assists in 54 games for the IceMen. The Delta, BC native scored the game-winning goal February 21 in Evansville's 2-1 win at Missouri. He was traded to Evansville last season from Greenville at the deadline and played the last 15 games of the 2014-15 season with the IceMen.
Ellis, 27, skated in 49 games for the Stingrays this season, where he recorded 25 points (6 goals, 19 assists) and a plus-3 rating. The Kelowna, BC native signed with South Carolina in March 2014 after completing his senior season at Merrimack College, where he totaled 58 points (7 goals, 51 assists) in 133 college games. Ellis has one career AHL game, which was with the Manchester Monarchs in late-March 2014.
The IceMen travel to Indy Friday for a 7:35pm EST meeting with the Fuel, before returning home Saturday to host the Fuel in the rematch at 7:15pm CST at the Ford Center. Evansville wraps up the weekend Sunday against Quad City at 5:15pm in Evansville.
