PEORIA, Ill. (March 12, 2010) - Peoria Rivermen General Manager Kevin McDonald announced today that the club has signed forward Matt McIlvane to a professional tryout agreement. This is his second stint with Peoria after scoring a goal on March 4 in a 4-3 win over Grand Rapids.

He has a total of five AHL games experience with the first four coming for the Binghamton Senators in 2008 following the completion of his senior season at Ohio State University.
