Undrafted 3rd year center Kevin Goumas(17) is taking his game to Sweden’s tier two Allsvenskan signing with Mora IK for 2016/2017.
Signed for the last pair of seasons on a two-way minor league deal with Lehigh Valley Phantoms, he spent most of his playing time in the AHL, where he posted identical 6 goal seasons with 11 assists as a rookie and 7 in his 2nd campaign.
The seemingly generously listed 5’10” 167 lbs. pivot is considered a speedy force on the ice with good instincts and play-making abilities.
He also spent 15 regular seasons games as a sophomore skater with affiliate Reading Royals tearing up the lower league scoring 8 goals and 9 assists with a +11 in 15 ECHL games, then adding another 5 goals and 10 assists in 14 Kelly Cup Playoff contests to lead the team in assists and points.
These stats mirrored what he was able to accomplish in 4 years at University Of New Hampshire.
He was exactly a point-per-game player at 146 points through 146 games.
The 24-year old should find more opening ice overseas and will likely take his scoring to a whole other level.
It would be little surprise to see him ink a deal to see what he can do in the SHL for 2017/2018.
