The Moose Jaw Warriors are happy to announce that Justin Kirsch has signed a contract with the Allen Americans of the Central Hockey League.

The Chilliwack, BC product broke into the WHL with the Calgary Hitmen in 2009-2010 and was traded to Moose Jaw early in the 2011-2012 season where he played a key role in the team's 2012 East Division Championship.

The Americans are affiliated with the Dallas Stars of the NHL, along with the Texas Stars and Houston Aeros of the American Hockey League. Among the players currently on the Americans roster is former Moose Jaw Warrior Ryley Grantham.
Allen goes into the weekend with a record of 37-17-9 and currently sits first in the CHL's Berry Conference. They play in Wichita tonight, and then host Missouri Saturday, they finish their regular season Sunday in Tulsa, and their playoffs are scheduled to begin next week.
The Moose Jaw Warriors would like to congratulate Kirsch on the signing, and wish him all the best as his professional career begins.
