In a surprising bit of news, the Canadiens AHL affiliate has inked veteran grinder David Broll to a one year AHL player contract extension. This means the new Laval Rocket officially have their first roster player for their inaugural season.
In 46 games with the IceCaps this year, Broll has four goals, two assists and 87 penalty minutes. While playing primarily in the bottom six for St. John’s, he’s become a fan favourite and quickly earned the trust of Sylvain Lefebvre. By all accounts he’s an outstanding leader in a very young IceCaps locker room
David Broll cashes in on the power play, putting the @IceCapsAHL up 3-2!
