ESTERO, Fla. – The Florida Everblades have agreed to terms with defenseman Ross MacDougall on a standard player contract.
MacDougall, 28, joins the Blades after spending the last two seasons in Europe. This year with HC Presov in Slovakia, the right-shot blueliner totalled two goals and 12 assists across 35 games.
MacDougall last played in the ECHL in 2023-24 when he skated on the Indy Fuel’s back end. The St. Stephen, New Brunswick native had seven goals and 22 assists across 55 games that season and added an additional goal and two assists in five playoff games that year.
Before going pro, MacDougall helped the University of New Brunswick Reds win the University Cup in 2023 as a senior, finishing his Canadian college career with a title after four seasons split between Acadia University and New Brunswick. He played junior hockey in the QMJHL for the Québec Remparts and the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles.
