Lincoln Stars News Release
Lincoln, Neb. - The Stars acquired defenseman Alex Green from the Muskegon Lumberjacks in exchange for defenseman Christian Hausinger, the team announced on Thursday.
Green has four shots and 12 penalty minutes in 8 games with the Lumberjacks this season.
"Alex's ability to skate and make good decisions with the puck both in open ice and under pressure are what makes him a player we want," Stars GM Jon Hull said.
Green stands at 6'1" 175 pounds and is committed to play at Cornell University. Green, a 1998 birth year, was a C-rated skater on the NHL Central Scouting Players to Watch List.
"He will add depth to our blue line as well be a key piece of our D core in 2016-2017," Hull said of Green.
The Chicago, Ill. native played three USHL games last season after finishing a two-year stint with the U16 Chicago Mission where he recorded 11 points in 50 games.
The Stars return to action on Friday, Dec. 4 against the Chicago Steel. For tickets log on to lincolnstars.com or call the box office at 402-474-STAR.
