27-year-old, American forward, Mitch Fossier joins the Panthers following extensive ECHL experience where he has scored at over a point per game.
Fossier, who can play in all three forward positions, tallied 128 points (38+90) in four seasons at college in the NCAA at the University of Maine.
His performances in the NCAA attracted the attention of AHL side Rockford and he signed his first professional contract with the IceHogs ahead of the 2020-21 campaign.
After a free-scoring season in Slovakia with HC Banska Bystrica, Fossier returned to North America with Maine Mariners in 2022-23 where he netted 57 points (21+36) in 47 regular-season matches.
He finished second in scoring for Maine and played on the same team as current Panthers forwards Tim Doherty and Reid Stefanson.
Last season, he scored 33 points for Atlanta Gladiators of the ECHL and in the past two years has had AHL call-ups to Providence Bruins and San Jose Barracuda.
