With Logan Roe, the defender with the best points and leader of the team’s internal plus/minus statistics, extends his contract in the steel city. “Mr. Reliable”. That was the sporting conclusion regarding Logan Roe following his first season in the jersey of the Steinbach Black Wings. The 31-year-old was one of the cornerstones of the Upper Austrian defense in the past championship. After the early departure of their planned number 1 defender, the American advanced to a versatile all-rounder. In doing so, he was convincing both in numbers and in numbers and led the Linz defense with Ramon Schnetzer and Martin Schumnig at his side.
With an average ice time of more than 20 minutes, Roe was on the ice more often than any other steel city crack. It is therefore all the more impressive that the defender not only scored 32 points (8 goals) as the best defender, but also as the team’s internal leader with +14 in the +/- statistics. The 193 centimeter tall and 93 kilogram defender thus significantly increased his personal haul in his second year in Europe. The sporting management around head coach Philipp Lukas therefore focused on extending the cooperation early on in their plans for the future. Logan Roe will also play for the Steinbach Black Wings in the coming season and occupy one of the three planned import slots in defense.
Before moving to Linz last year, Roe spent most of his career with the Florida Everblades of the East Coast Hockey League. In six years he established himself in over 400 missions as a reliable support in the third division in North America. As a great honor, the veteran secured the title as the top performer of the season in the 2017/18 season with a statistic of +43. The next highlight for the left-handed shooter followed in the 2019/20 season: He was voted onto the ECHL All-Star Team and, following a convincing performance, was named All-Star MVP.
