The Bucks have signed center Sylvain Deschatelets to fill the forward absence on their current roster.
This move was awaiting league approval, and some immigration paperwork, but is now official.
Deschatelets played nine seasons of professional hockey everywhere from the ECHL to Italy before joining the North American Hockey League (LNAH) for the 2009-10 campaign.
His "Drop Your Gloves" profile offers some information as to what he's done in that league this season, as does his LNAH page.
Coach Ruskowski knew of Deschatelets and went after him knowing that he had no contractual ties to sever before he could play for the Bucks, unlike some players currently in the European leagues.
Ruskowski said he likes Deschatelets' size, his numbers and the fact that he won't back down from the "rough stuff," a part of the game he feels Robin Richards has been forced to deal with on his own too much since Justin Styffe went on the injured reserve.
Deschatelets will be in the lineup when the Bucks face the Allen Americans tomorrow night.
