MUSKEGON, MI - The Muskegon Lumberjacks and Dubuque Fighting Saints have agreed to a trade that sends veteran netminder, and former member of the USHL All-Rookie team Paxton Geisel to Muskegon in return for future draft picks.

Geisel, a 2004 birth year with dual citizenship between the United States and Canada has spent the past two seasons in the USHL with Dubuque. In 2021-22 Geisel recorded a 25-9-3 record through 40 regular season games played with a 3.13 GAA, and .897 SV%. His strong play in goal helped the Fighting Saints to a second-place finish in the Eastern Conference, and a place for himself on the USHL All-Rookie team. Last season Geisel again found playing time with the Fighting Saints helping Dubuque to another appearance in the Clark Cup Playoffs.

Lumberjacks President of Hockey Operations Steve Lowe said "We are excited to add Paxton to our group. He is a proven goaltender at the USHL level, and this will push the competition even more at that position." Lowe added "We can't wait to see Paxton in the Black and Gold."

Head coach of the Jacks Parker Burgess added on to the praise of the newest Jack "We are excited to welcome Paxton to the Muskegon Lumberjacks organization and family. He brings a unique combination of talent, experience, and success to our team.
