The Laval Rocket have turned to next year with three more weeks left in the American Hockey League calendar by signing defenceman Adam Plant to a one-way AHL contract for the 2018-19 season. Plant will also join the team for the rest of this season.
Plant was part of a very successful program at the University of Denver for four years, during which the team rose to championship glory in 2017 winning the NCAA tournament. They were also heavily favourite this season after winning their Conference championship, but were beaten by Ohio State who advanced to the NCAA Frozen Four.
