IceHogs Sign 2 Forwards
On Friday the IceHogs announced they have signed left wing Tyler Sikura and right wing Alex Wideman to one-year, AHL contracts for the 2017-18 season.
Sikura, 25, is the older brother of Blackhawks’ prospect Dylan Sikura. He played 16 games in the AHL with the Iowa Wild last season. He also appeared in 47 games in the ECHL last year: 39 games with the Toledo Walleye and eight games for the Manchester Monarchs. Sikura appeared in 19 postseason games as well for Manchester. He played college hockey at Dartmouth.
Wideman, 25, appeared in 70 games for the Indy Fuel last season. He led the Fuel in assists (33) and points (55), and tied for the team lead with 22 goals. He played with Blackhawks prospect Anthony Louis for two seasons at Miami (Ohio).
Good depth for Icehogs to help if there is call ups.
Wonder if this help to influence his brother to sign with us
Nick…i really think its the reason why they sign him…..but its not sure Dylan will sign..maybe it will help ..
How would a one year AHL contract be helpful.
Only BOBBY and DENNIS HULL brother combination worth speaking about!
