Knoxville, TN - The Knoxville Ice Bears organization announced today that Jason Lepine has signed a contract to continue his career with the Knoxville Ice Bears.

The 5'11", 185-pound Defensemen started his career with the Cornwall Colts of the CJAHL in 2003. During 3 seasons with the Colts, Lepine played 160 games, scored 58 goals and had 96 assists.

Lepine was then recruited by Corpus Christi Rayz of the Central Hockey League (CHL). He played just over a season for the Rayz. In 46 games he had 5 goals and 11 assists.

Even though he suffered from an injury early in the season, he still played 24 regular-season for the Knoxville Ice Bears. Lepine added 3 goals and 11 assists to the Ice Bears stats.

"All I can say is that we are excited! We fully expected Jason to be moving on but we are sure glad he is not! Jason was a key performer for us down the stretch and into playoffs. He had 1 goal and 5 assists in the playoffs good for 12th in the entire league. He is extremely gifted and we expect him to be a real handful for the opposition. 'Jay' is a great skater and has the ability to feather passes to the open man in all areas of the ice. Combined with Kevin Harris I believe we have two legitimate, proven AA defensemen signed for next season," Coach Hillman commented.
