Las Vegas Wranglers News Release
LAS VEGAS, NV - The Las Vegas Wranglers announced today the team has agreed to terms with forward Jimmy Kilpatrick.
"Jimmy is a guy we have had our eye on for a while," said General Manager and Head Coach Glen Gulutzan. "He's a rookie forward with a lot of potential. He should provide some depth up front."

As a junior, the New Prague, MN native led Colorado College in scoring with 25 assists and 32 points in 36 games played.
