GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - The Grand Rapids Griffins on Tuesday reassigned defenseman Jacob Truscott to the ECHL's Toledo Walleye.
Truscott made his professional debut with the Griffins on Oct. 18 against the Manitoba Moose and later bagged his first pro point with an assist on Oct. 28 at Iowa. Through seven games in the AHL, the Port Huron, Michigan, native has three assists, four penalty minutes and a plus-four rating. Truscott has also appeared in 36 games with the Walleye, logging 15 points (3-12-15), eight penalty minutes and a plus-seven rating. He ranks among the Toledo defensemen leaders in points (3rd), assists (3rd), goals (T2nd), and plus-minus rating (T3rd). Truscott made his ECHL debut on Nov. 7 at Kalamazoo, securing an assist in the process. Truscott was the 144th overall pick by the Vancouver Canucks in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft.
Prior to turning pro, Truscott spent five seasons at the University of Michigan from 2020-25, showing 70 points (12-58-70), 119 penalty minutes and a plus-44 rating in 166 career games. The 23-year-old served as captain at Michigan from 2023-25, becoming just the ninth multi-year captain at the university and the first since former Griffin Luke Glendening (2010-12).
