Independence, MO —
The Missouri Mavericks took a major step toward making an even deeper run into the CHL playoffs next season by announcing the signing of three of the most proficient and popular players from last year’s squad.
Forward John-Scott Dickson, who will be entering his second year in the CHL, and veteran defenders David Simoes and Dave Pszenyczny have all signed new contracts.
“It’s a good day to be a Maverick,” coach Scott Hillman said Monday between sessions of the team’s summer youth camp at the Independence Events Center.
“You look at each of those players and they each bring something special to the team. JS is a big, strong kid you can put in crease – where he scores a lot of his goals. When I think about his hat trick against Evansville, I recall that all three goals came from the crease.
“He’s going to get stronger and better and he’s also a great penalty killer.”
Dickson scored 57 points during the regular season and added 10 points in the playoffs.
Simoes and Pszenyczny were not only two of the top defenders on the Mavericks, they were two of the top defenders in the league, with Pszenyczny being nominated for the CHL’s Defender of the Year Award.
