Rocket Sign Free Agent

Press Release

The PEI Rocket have signed free-agent forward, Jack Nevins.  Nevins, 6’2” and 200 lbs, played in 59 games last hockey season in the OHL with the Kingston Frontenacs and Sarnia Sting.  He had 5 goals and 6 assists to go with 13 fighting majors and 85 penalty minutes.  He started this season with the OHL’s London Knights but a hip injury kept him sidelined for the most part.  He did play in 2 games before being released.

Coach Gordie Dwyer says, “ We are always looking to make our team better and when the opportunity arose to sign Jack, we jumped at it.  We are looking forward to the presence and grit he adds to our line-up.”

Nevins had other options in the QMJHL as Quebec Remparts and Gatineau Olympiques also showed interest but he felt PEI was the best fit for him.
