The Tampa Bay Lightning have announced the signing of forward Bennett MacArthur to a three-year entry-level contract. The ELC will start with the 2022-23 season. A left winger, Bennett is listed at 6’1” and 197 pounds and hails from Summerside in Prince Edward Island, Canada. Bennet turned 21 at the end of January.
In his draft year of 2018-19, MacArthur was playing for the Kensington Wild U18 AAA in the NBPEIMMHL. A real mouthful, eh? He played seven games for the Summerside Western Capitals in the MJAHL, a step up from his PEI league. He followed that up in 2019-20 with 30 games in the MJAHL where he recorded 21 goals and 41 points.
