Las Vegas Inks Beynon

The Las Vegas Wranglers® have announced that the team has agreed to terms with former Union defenseman Michael Beynon.

“Beynon is a rookie defenseman out of college, who has some size and should help out on the back end,” said General Manager and Head Coach Glen Gulutzan.

Beynon will begin his first full season professional hockey after a four-year career at Union College. Over four seasons, Beynon played in 141 NCAA games, dishing out 33 assists and compiling 40 points. The 25-year old captained Union College during his junior and senior seasons. Beynon was selected to the ECACHL All-Academic team in 2006 and 2007. The 6-foot-3, 210-pound defender made his pro debut at the conclusion of his collegiate career in late March. The Nepean, ON native played in four games with Idaho Steelheads without registering a point and accumulating six penalty minutes.
