"We are thrilled to have Bennet tender with us for next season," said Shamrocks Head Coach and General Manager Casey Kirley in a statement.

His high-end speed and playmaking ability has helped him to lead the entire state of North Dakota in scoring this past season." The West Fargo product also spent time playing for Team North Dakota this year. He played in 10 games and notched 13 total points, ranking 2nd most on the team. Benson additionally played in one game for the NA3HL's Rochester Grizzlies in October.
