CEDAR PARK, Texas - The Texas Stars, American Hockey League affiliate of the NHL's Dallas Stars, announced today the team has signed defenseman Brennan Evans and goaltender John Muse to AHL contracts for the 2015-16 season.
Evans, 33, brings a veteran presence to the Stars' blue line with 834 career AHL games on his resume and a 2013 Calder Cup Championship with the Grand Rapids Griffins. The 6-foot-4, 225-pound native of North Battleford, Saskatchewan adds physicality to the Texas lineup with 1,679 penalty minutes in a 12-year AHL career between seven teams (Grand Rapids, Peoria Rivermen, Toronto Marlies, Iowa Chops, Worcester Sharks, Binghamton Senators and Lowell Lock Monsters).
Evans appeared in two NHL playoff games for the Calgary Flames in 2003-04, and scored the game-winning goal in 2013 that clinched the Calder Cup Championship for Grand Rapids in Game 6 against the Syracuse Crunch.
Muse, 27, is an experienced goaltender entering his sixth AHL season. The East Falmouth, Mass., native spent the past four years with the AHL's Charlotte Checkers. Muse (MEWZ) has appeared in 108 games in his AHL career with a 2.65 goals against average and .926 save percentage. Prior to turning pro, Muse competed for four years at Boston College and won the NCAA's Frozen Four National Championship twice (2008, 2010).
The 5-foot-11, 185-pound goaltender also won a Kelly Cup Championship with the ECHL's Florida Everblades in 2012 and was named the Kelly Cup MVP. His 27 wins in 2013-14 and 54 career wins are both franchise records for the Checkers.
The Texas Stars will begin their seventh season at Cedar Park Center on Saturday, Oct. 10. Full season, 24-game and 12-game ticket packages for the 2015-16 campaign are on sale now. For more information, call (512) GO-STARS (467-8277) or visit TexasStarsHockey.com.
