From our post-season recap:

He played in 69 of 72 games for Manitoba this season providing plenty of offence from the backend. He set career highs in games played, goals (12), assists (42) and points (54). He finished the season in first place in the AHL for points amongst blueliners. His play on the ice was recognized by the American Hockey League as he was named to the 2023-24 AHL First All-Star Team. Just five days later he became just the second ever Moose defender to have been voted the Eddie Shore Award winner as the AHL’s outstanding defenceman.

He is staying in the Central which means folks will see him plenty with either the Stars of the NHL or Stars of the AHL.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
