The Brookfield, WI native earned his first career American Hockey League call-up last season with the Hershey Bears and recorded an assist.

“We are happy to have Jake back this season,” Head Coach and Director of Hockey Operations Alex Loh said. “He was an extremely valuable player to us last season and will continue to be this season as well.
