Willis, 25, made his professional debut last season with the ECHL's Fort Wayne Komets and recorded six points (one goal, five assists) in ten games.

In 71 games with Lindenwood University, the Ballwin, Missouri native had 90 points (36 goals, 54 assists).

"Jake Fletcher and Andy Willis join our offensive attack as rookies," said Head Coach Pete MacArthur.

Their skating and puck handling ability should elevate our attack and make us a fun team to watch!"
