Kirsch Signs With Allen
The Moose Jaw Warriors are happy to announce that Justin Kirsch has signed a contract with the Allen Americans of the Central Hockey League.
Kirsch spent the last two years with the Warriors, playing in 112 games, scoring 40 goals and finishing with 90 points. The Chilliwack, BC product broke into the WHL with the Calgary Hitmen in 2009-2010 and was traded to Moose Jaw early in the 2011-2012 season where he played a key role in the team’s 2012 East Division Championship.
During his five year career, Kirsch played in 222 games, scoring 70 goals and finishing with 148 points and 64 penalty minutes. He’s scheduled to leave for Allen over the weekend.
The Americans are affiliated with the Dallas Stars of the NHL, along with the Texas Stars and Houston Aeros of the American Hockey League. Among the players currently on the Americans roster is former Moose Jaw Warrior Ryley Grantham.
Allen goes into the weekend with a record of 37-17-9 and currently sits first in the CHL’s Berry Conference. They play in Wichita tonight, and then host Missouri Saturday, they finish their regular season Sunday in Tulsa, and their playoffs are scheduled to begin next week.
The Moose Jaw Warriors would like to congratulate Kirsch on the signing, and wish him all the best as his professional career begins.
