ESTERO, Fla.- Florida Everblades General Manager, Craig Brush, along with Director of Hockey Operations and Head Coach, Brad Ralph, have announced that forward Michael Neville agreed to terms for the 2020-21 season.
Neville is returning for his third season with the Everblades and fourth overall season as a professional hockey player. In the 2019-20 regular season, Neville tallied 15 points (five goals and 10 assists). The forward had his best season in 2018-19. He appeared in 53 games and had 35 points (11 goals, 24 assists).
The Ontario native began his professional career with the Idaho Steelheads, where he appeared in 14 games and totaled two goals and an assist.

“We are excited to have Mike Neville back as a core player for us,” said Ralph. “Mike is an extremely high character, team first kind of guy. He is relentless on the forecheck. His speed generates offense and his tenacity is contagious.”
Neville’s re-up comes after the announcement of fellow forward John McCarron, who will also return to the Everblades roster for the 2020-21 season.
The Everblades begin the 2020-21 season in December 2020.
