The Jacksonville Icemen have finalized their roster, two days ahead of their season debut.
The team announced its season-opening roster earlier today, while also announcing that they’ve signed rookie forward Dulan Walchuk.
Several players were assigned to the Icemen from their AHL affiliate team, the Manitoba Moose, during training camp. Forward Alexis D’Aoust and goalies Tanner Jaillet and Mikhail Berdin made the final Icemen team after coming in from Manitoba.
Defenseman Simon Bourque was assigned from the team’s NHL affiliate, the Winnipeg Jets, but was waived a day later.
