BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (Dec. 29, 2012) - The Bridgeport Sound Tigers announced they have signed defenseman Dallas Jackson to a professional tryout contract (PTO).

Prior to turning pro at the start of the 2010-11 season, Jackson spent three seasons in the Western Hockey League, splitting time between Red Deer, Regina, Prince George and Kelowna.
