Texas Adds Milnamow

CEDAR PARK, TX -- The Texas Stars announced today the team has signed former Union defensemen Brendan Milnamow to AHL contracts. Per club policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.

"Milnanow has good size, plays a defensive style and will add depth to our back end," said Texas Stars General Manager Scott White.

Milnamow made his pro debut with Texas' ECHL affiliate, the Idaho Steelheads, in late March of 2009 after completing a four-year playing at Union College. The 6-foot-3, 195-pound blueliner recorded collegiate highs with nine goals and 18 points in 39 games as a senior. The defenseman also led the team with 62 penalty minutes. After the NCAA season ended, Milnamow joined Idaho, recording two penalty minutes in five games. The Connecticut native played in 140 NCAA games over four seasons, scoring 16 goals and setting up 24 others for a total of 40 points at Union College.
