The New Jersey Titans are excited to announce the acquisition of forward Mitch Machlitt from the Corpus Christi IceRays.
Machlitt is a 19-year-old forward from Maple Grove, Minnesota and has 19 points (7g, 12a) in 24 games this season.
"We are excited to add Mitch to our forward group. He's a good hockey player with a huge upside," said Titans head coach Craig Doremus.

As far as what the team can look for in my game, I am definitely offensively inclined with a shoot to score mentality," Machlitt said. "Overall, I am thrilled to join the Titans and am going to continue to contribute statistically and whatever else is asked of me to get this team where we want to go!"
