Local product Roe returns to Everblades

ESTERO, Fla. — Florida Everblades’ General Manager Craig Brush, along with head coach Brad Ralph, announced that defenseman Logan Roe, a native of Fort Myers, has agreed to terms with the team for the 2019-20 season.

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

Entering the 2019-20 season, Roe sits sixth in all-time games played for the Everblades (247) and has been a reliable force on Florida’s backend for the last four seasons. Roe has racked up 89 points (16g-73a) in his ECHL career, all of which has been with Florida.

Roe is coming off his most productive season as he preps for his fifth campaign. He established career-highs in both assists (28) and points (32) in the 2018-19 season and nearly doubled his previous career-high assist total of 16 from the 2017-18 campaign.

One of the steadier defenders in the ECHL, Roe’s defensive contributions can be seen by a career plus-minus rating that sits at +120. After finishing as a league-best +43 rating in the 2017-18 campaign, Roe proved his third season in the league was no anomaly. He registered a +39 rating this past season to finish second among all ECHL defensemen in that category.

Prior to turning professional, Roe played four seasons of NCAA Division I hockey at Canisius College where he tallied 25 points (1g-24a) in 146 career games for the Golden Griffins, with his total for career games ranking ninth all-time in program history.
