Lohan back for second season in Orlando

ORLANDO, Fla. – The Orlando Solar Bears have agreed to terms with defenseman Kevin Lohan for the 2019-20 season.

The Solar Bears are the ECHL affiliate of the Tampa Bay Lightning of the National Hockey League and the Syracuse Crunch of the American Hockey League.

Lohan, 25, was originally acquired from the Toledo Walleye on Dec. 27 to complete a portion of the future considerations component of the Dec. 22 trade that saw Orlando send forward Justin Kea to Toledo. In 40 regular-season games with the Solar Bears, Lohan collected six points (1g-5a) and 22 penalty minutes. The rookie added two assists and six penalty minutes in 10 playoff games with Orlando, and finished the postseason tied for second on the team with a plus-minus of +5.

In 56 career games with Orlando and Toledo, Lohan has 10 points (1g-9a) and 34 penalty minutes.

Prior to turning pro, the native of Cold Spring Harbor, New York played four seasons at the University of Michigan and one season at Boston College as a graduate transfer. In 86 total NCAA contests, Lohan combined for 19 points (4g-15a) and 44 penalty minutes. During the 2012-13 season Lohan also skated with the Merritt Centennials of the British Columbia Hockey League, where he posted 23 points (5g-18a) and 26 penalty minutes in 54 games.
