INDEPENDENCE, MO. – The Kansas City Mavericks have acquired defenseman Justin MacPherson from the Florida Everblades, the organization announced today.
“We are very excited to have Justin join the Mavericks,” said Mavericks General Manager and Head Coach, Tad O’Had. “He is a mobile, skilled defenseman who breaks pucks down well. He is coming off an incredibly successful collegiate career at St. Mary’s University and we are excited to see him on the ice.”
MacPherson, 23, comes to Kansas City after three seasons with Saint Mary’s University (USports) and one game with the Everblades this season.
