ESTERO, FL – Florida Everblades President & General Manager Craig Brush along with Head Coach Brad Ralph announced Wednesday that the team has agreed to terms with defenseman Matt Finn for the 2018-19 season.
Finn, 24, returns for his second season with the Everblades where he registered three assists in eight games played last season.
