Edinburgh Capitals have signed Canadian forward Garrett Milan.

The 24-year-old joins the Capitals after spells with Dunaújvárosi Acélbikák and Debreceni HK in Hungary, where he registered 29 points in 39 games in the MOL Liga.

This is his first year of pro-hockey – prior to this season he represented St. Cloud State University in NCAA.

Player/Coach Riley Emmerson said: “Garrett is a small quick feisty competitive player. He is looking for a chance to prove himself for next season.

“He will bring a boat load of speed to our line up. He is also a player who will lay it on the line every shift. I look forward to seeing him in a Caps uniform.”

Capitals continue to look to identify players to join the club to replace Emmerson, Brandon Coccimiglio and Jacob Johnston who face long spells out through injury.
