HIDALGO, TEXAS --- The Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees of the Central Hockey League (CHL) today announced that forward Zak McClellan has signed with the team for the 2010-11 season.

"Zak has played a big role on our team over the past two seasons and I look for him to continue to progress in his pro career heading into his third season," Killer Bees Head Coach Chris Brooks said. "He is a great locker room guy, great teammate, and versatile player that makes our team better in every situation he is put in."
