KENNEWICK, WA – Tri-City Americans general manger Bob Tory announced today that the team has signed U.S. prospect Ian Ferguson to a WHL Standard Player Agreement.

The 16-year-old left defenseman currently plays for the Dallas Stars U-16 team in the Tier 1 Elite league. Ferguson, a 6’0, 170-pound native of Missouri, TX, is a solid two-way defenseman who transitions the puck well and plays a physical game.

Ian attended the USA Hockey Select 15 Festival in 2017-18.

A leader on his team, we look forward to Ian joining the Americans next season. He will be available in 2018-19 as an U.S. affiliate player under U.S. hockey regulations.
