Independence, MO — The Kansas City Mavericks announced today that defenseman Charlie Wright has been recalled to the Coachella Valley Firebirds of the American Hockey League (AHL). This marks Wright’s second call-up to the Firebirds during his rookie professional season.
Wright, 21, previously appeared in two games for Coachella Valley during his first stint with the team. Since returning to Kansas City, Wright has not played in any additional games but remains an important part of the Mavericks' defensive core.
In 23 games with the Mavericks this season, Wright has recorded 3 goals and 9 assists for 12 points. The Olds, Alberta native is in his first professional season after five seasons in the Western Hockey League (WHL) with the Saskatoon Blades, where he tallied 103 points (15 goals, 88 assists) in 256 games and served as an alternate captain in his final seasons.
The Kansas City Mavericks, currently leading the Mountain Division, wish Wright continued success during his time with the Firebirds.
