PEORIA, IL - The Peoria Rivermen announced on Wednesday that the team is looking into signing winger Maxime St-Cyr to a three-game tryout contract before the Rivermen depart for a three-game, three-day road trip to Knoxville, Huntsville, and Mississippi. The 22-year-old spent four full seasons in the Quebec Major-Junior Hockey League, and played in 48 ECHL games last season for Florida, and began this season with ECHL Norfolk, where he played in seven contests.
In his QMJHL career, St-Cyr played in 264 total games, posting 118 goals and assisting on 85 others. In his final QMJHL season of 2014-15, St-Cyr posted more than a point per game, scoring 54 goals and adding 30 assists for 84 points in 64 games, adding 15 points (12g, 3a) in 12 postseason games for Baie-Comeau Drakkar.
