MHKY: Bisons alum Brett Stovin signs professional deal with Dundee Stars (EIHL)

A veteran of four seasons with Manitoba, the former team captain will play professional hockey overseas in 2019-20.

After four seasons with Bison men's hockey and two seasons as captain, Brett Stovin will take his talents overseas in 2019-20. Stovin has agreed to a one-year contract with the Kitmart Dundee Stars in the Elite Ice Hockey League of Britain (EIHL).

"I am really excited to come and put a Stars jersey on and get to know some people in the community and work hard for them," Stovin said in a Stars media release. "After speaking with a few teams overseas, it just seemed right to come to Dundee. I'm there to do what it takes and the fans will see it because that's what I am about."

In four seasons with Manitoba, Stovin totalled 27 goals and 52 assists in the regular season, playing centre, wing, and defence at different points. In Canada West post-season play (2016-17, 2017-18), Stovin had three goals and one assist.

Stovin has also been a community leader for the Bisons, involved in campaigns for the Canadian Cancer Society, Movember, and other mental health organizations.  

Before joining the Bisons, Stovin had five seasons experience in the WHL with the Saskatoon Blades, where he was team captain in 2014-15. His junior hockey was played for the Interlake Lightning Midget AAA, then the Interlake Lightning and Winnipeg Blues.
