Ignacio Garza was a late arrival to the S68 draft class, signing as a waivered free agent with the Anchorage Armada. Despite having only 47 games under his belt, Garza scored at almost 0.5 PPG pace as a rookie, scoring 10 goals ad 23 points. It was a welcome surprise for someone touted for thier defensive abilities, although Garza is hoping to improve on those defensive results next season. He had more giveaways than he would like, and needs to bulk up and work on his checking skills and puckhanling to play better at the SMJHL level. Otherwise, it was quite the successful season for the Spanish winger.
Thank you to Ham and Sulo for the sigs!
