Plymouth Whalers President, General Manager and Head Coach
Mike Vellucci recently announced the signing of 18-year-old
right wing
Austin Mattson, a Livonia resident who was a free agent after playing
last season with the Sioux City Musketeers of the United States Hockey
League.
Mattson scored 12 goals and notched 16 assists in 53 games for
the
Musketeeers. He also garnered 11 penalty minutes.
"We're excited to get a player of Austin's caliber," said
Vellucci. "He
had a great second half last year (26 points over the final 29 games)
in the USHL. I feel he'll give us some offensive punch next year."
