Hausinger, of Anchorage, Alaska, tallied 23 points (13G, 10A), 63 penalty minutes, and a -5 in 50 games for the Swamp Rabbits this season. Last season, he earned an All-Star nod for the Indy Fuel, putting up 35 points (18G, 17A) and 116 penalty minutes, as well as being tabbed with seven penalty minutes in three AHL games with Chicago. This is the fifth ECHL season for Hausinger, who eclipsed 200 professional games last season, accumulating 138 points (64G, 74A) and 409 penalty minutes, making stops in Indy, Florida, and Wheeling prior to Greenville. He made his professional debut with Wheeling in 2021-22 and wore an "A" for them the following season. The AHL has called a few times as well, appearing with Chicago, Milwaukee, and Iowa in parts of two seasons, scoring a goal and earning seven penalty minutes in 13 career AHL games. The 27-year-old played five WHL seasons, picking up 161 points (68G, 93A) and 335 penalty minutes over 317 games between Red Deer, Kootenay and Saskatoon, wearing an "A" for Kootenay to begin 2018-19, and for Red Deer in 2019-20.
