ESTERO, Fla. — Florida Everblades head coach Brad Ralph announced that forward Michael Neville has agreed to terms for the 2019-20 season.

The Everblades are the ECHL affiliate of the Nashville Predators of the National Hockey League and the Milwaukee Admirals of the American Hockey League.

A native of Woodbridge, Ontario, Neville is entering his second full season in the ECHL. He finished third among Everblades rookies in the 2018-19 season with 35 points (11g-24a).

After playing in 53 games in the regular season, Neville went on to suit up in all of Florida’s 16 games in the 2019 Kelly Cup Playoffs. He racked up a goal and two assists in the first postseason action of his pro career.

Before joining the Everblades, Neville, 26, spent the 2017-18 season with the Idaho Steelheads. He made his ECHL and pro debut in February of 2018 and went on to total two goals and an assist in 14 games with Idaho.

Prior to turning pro, Neville played four seasons at Michigan Tech University from 2013-17 and potted 60 points (15g-45a) in 155 career games. He put his best season together as a senior in 2016-17, recording career highs in goals (7), assists (16) and points (23). That same season he helped guide Michigan Tech to the Broadmoor Trophy, which is awarded to the WCHA’s Tournament champion.
