Friesen signs

I'm a little late on this, but MSU senior defenseman Blake Friesen signed with the ECHL's Idaho Steelheads this week. Here is Idaho's release on the transaction. The release said Friesen was scheduled to play in Wednesday's game, but the game sheet didn't mention his name. Perhaps he'll make his debut Friday.

So far, three Mavericks have turned pro, including senior Mick Berge and junior Trevor Bruess. Still waiting to see if seniors Mike Zacharias, Brian Kilburg and Dan Tormey will catch on with a team before this season ends.
