Kansas City Mavericks News Release


INDEPENDENCE, Mo. - The Missouri Mavericks announced today the season opening roster for their 2016-17 ECHL campaign. The Mavericks begin the season this weekend with road games in Allen, Texas on October 15 and 16.

"We are very happy with our roster to start the season," said Mavericks general manager Brent Thiessen. "There is a good mix of youth and experience in our goaltenders, defensemen and forwards. We expect this group to have a lot of success."

Highlighting the season opening roster are seven returnees from the record-setting 2015-16 Mavericks team that won the Brabham Cup with a 52-15-5 record. Bryce Aneloski, Andrew Courtney, Rocco Carzo, Jesse Graham, Darren Nowick, Josh Robinson and Reed Seckel make up the core of returning Mavericks. They are joined by 16 others who will make their Mavericks debut when the season opens.

"I'm really happy with the way our team has come together," said Mavericks head coach John-Scott Dickson "It was a unique training camp this year, but now that everyone is here we are gelling as a team and excited to start the season."
