Toledo, OH - Defenseman Cody Sol has been added to the Toledo Walleye training camp roster on a player tryout agreement.
The native of Woodstock, Ontario has spent the last five seasons as a member of the Fort Wayne Komets including 41 contests last season with four goals scored, seven assists and 91 penalty minutes. His long pro career has seen him skate in 377 games at the ECHL level with 39 goals, 88 assists, 127 points and 1,015 penalty minutes. In the 2017-18 season he posted career highs in goals (8), assists (21) and points (29). That year he helped the Komets reach the Western Conference Finals with another 18 postseason contests.
