“Since Day 1 I have embraced the Mudbugs culture and Louisiana in general and this has been a second home to me for three years now. I enjoyed coming to the rink, seeing the guys everyday, and will miss many of those moments and the atmosphere in the arena. I was amazed by the fans and my experience in Shreveport,” said Jaunich.
We expect Jack to be an on the ice and in the community just like he was with the Mudbugs. Jacks hands, ability to play in tight spaces, and work ethic will definitely add to the growing success of this program," said Mudbugs head coach Jason Campbell.
