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 Justin McRae for the 2024-25 season.
McRae, 25, returns to the Icemen where he appeared in the final three regular-season games last season after being claimed off waivers from the Wheeling Nailers. While with Wheeling, he logged three points (2g-1a) in 13 outings. McRae’s hustle earned him a spot on the Icemen’s playoff roster this past spring and he appeared in all seven playoff games for Jacksonville, recording one goal.
Prior to beginning his professional career this past spring, McRae wrapped up his third season at the University of Ottawa, recording 11 points (7g-4a) in 27 games. The Peterborough, Ontario resident compiled 23 points during his three collegiate seasons in Ottawa.
