JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Jacksonville Icemen, ECHL affiliate of the National Hockey League’s Buffalo Sabres and the American Hockey League’s Rochester Americans, announced that the team has agreed to terms with forward Brendan Harris for the 2023-24 season.    

Harris returns for his third season with the Icemen where he recorded career highs in points (49), goals (15) and assists (34) in 56 games last season.   

The 27-year-old was acquired by the Icemen from the Wheeling Nailers during the 2021-22 season and went on to post 30 points (12g-18a) in 39 regular-season games, and led the Icemen in playoff scoring that spring posting eight points in eight appearances.    

Harris registered seven points in 19 games with the Nailers near the end of the 2020-21 season.  Prior to beginning his professional career, the Henderson, Nevada resident finished second in scoring with 23 points during his senior season at Bemidji State University in 2020-21. He completed his four-year collegiate career with 56 points.
