2010-2011 Muskegon Lumberjacks Roster

Press Release

Spending time in an ice rink probably sounds good right about now to most people. The Muskegon Lumberjacks coaching staff has been hard at work this summer, spending many hours in ice rinks around the country. Now the Lumberjacks are one step closer to beginning play in the United States Hockey League this fall. The team has submitted its final roster to the league.

Players from around the United States and Canada will begin arriving in Muskegon the last week of August. The high school aged players will start classes on September 7.

The active roster consists of 23 players. The Lumberjacks can dress 20 players for a game. The remainder of the Jacks roster consists of affiliates and futures. Futures are players born in 1994 and are usually not quite ready to make the active roster, the franchise does hold their playing rights for three years. Players from both of these lists can be called up to play in up to six games before they must be added to the active roster.

The 2010-2011 schedule should be announced soon. The start of the season is tentatively set for October 2.
