Slavin Thriving in Month of April
IceHogs forward Josiah Slavin is riding a four-game point streak and was a key piece to the IceHogs success on their four-game West Coast road trip. Slavin scored in three out of the four games, including the lone and game-winning goal in Tuesday's 1-0 win over the Henderson Silver Knights. He also notched three assists in the four road games and has six goals and four assists in his last eight games.
New Guy on the Block
On Friday the IceHogs officially announced they have signed goaltender Jaxson Stauber to an Amateur Tryout Agreement (ATO). Stauber and the Blackhawks agreed to terms on a two-year entry-level contract beginning next season and going through the 2023-2024 season. Stauber, a Plymouth, MN native, just finished his junior year at Providence College where he posted a 21-14-2 record. His father, Robb Stauber, played five seasons with the Los Angeles Kings and Buffalo Sabres and also coached the U.S. Women's National Team to a gold medal at the 2018 Winter Olympics.
