Early Departures and Signings '18-'19

[hockeyplayer1015]

Art Brey, while a Senior at St. Lawrence, gives up his remaining 2 weekends*^ of eligibility to sign with Adirondack (ECHL).

*This assumes a first round exit in the ECAC Playoffs.

^This also assumes he didn't just want to get away from the cesspool that has taken over the hockey program.

Another ECHL signing. There is more to both of those than the average early departure. They both left to ride a bus.
