Icemen Bring Back Rookie Forward Justin McRae

JACKSONVILLE, FL – The Jacksonville Icemen, proud ECHL affiliate of the NHL’s Buffalo Sabres and the AHL’s Rochester Americans announced today that the team has agreed to terms with forward Justin McRae for the 2024-25 season. 

McRae, 25, returns to Jacksonville where he appeared in the final three regular season games for the Icemen after being claimed off waivers from the Wheeling Nailers. While with Wheeling, he logged three points (2g, 1a) in 13 outings.
