IceMen Receive Hobbs From Binghamton and Trade Away Anthoine

The Evansville IceMen, proud ECHL affiliate of the NHL’s Ottawa Senators, and Head Coach Al Sims announced Friday that the AHL’s Binghamton Senators have assigned forward Danny Hobbs to the IceMen on loan. Evansville also traded forward Mark Anthoine to the Manchester Monarchs for future considerations.

Hobbs, 26, comes to the IceMen for the first time in 2015-16, after playing in 17 games for Evansville last season. The Shawville, QC native recorded one goal and one assist in 22 games with Binghamton this season, and has appeared in 62 AHL and 122 ECHL games in his four year professional career. Before turning pro, Hobbs played four years of NCAA hockey for the University of Massachusetts (Amherst).

Anthoine heads east where he’ll get a new opportunity with the Monarchs closer to his hometown of Lewiston, ME. The 5’10, 194 lbs. forward recorded four assists in ten games this season, with a plus-3 rating. After graduating from Maine University in 2013, he played in four games for Evansville and skated in 34 more games for the IceMen last season after starting the year in the Southern Professional Hockey League (SPHL).
