Walleye bring back Russell

TOLEDO, Ohio – Defenseman Bobby Russell returns for his first full season in Toledo and fifth as a professional after agreeing to terms for the 2025-26 season.

Russell, of Langley, British Columbia, returns to the Walleye after tallying 16 points (4g-12a) in 59 ECHL games a year ago between Toledo and Greenville. The 25-year-old was acquired via trade from the Swamp Rabbits in exchange for Casey Dornbach on Jan. 19. Following the trade, he posted six points (2g-4a) in 31 games, followed by appearing in one playoff game for the Walleye.

Russell has tallied 64 points (16g-48a) in 201 ECHL games across four seasons between Toledo and Greenville. He also has appeared in 10 American Hockey League games, posting one assist, between Ontario and Charlotte. 

Prior to turning pro, Russell played five Western Hockey League seasons split between Spokane and Kootenay, accumulating 55 points (14g-41a)  in 178 contests.
