CORPUS CHRISTI, TX – The Corpus Christi IceRays continue to build their impressive 2023 Roster. Defenseman Karl Persman is the next player to agree to a tender contract with the IceRays.
Persman joins the list of IceRays tenders who have competitive experience. He most recently wrapped up his season in the HockeyEttan League out of Sweden.
Throughout his HockeyEttan career, the Swedish-born ended with 1 goal, 3 assists, and 4 points in 31 games as a defenseman.
Head Coach Sylvain Cloutier chimed in on Persman’s acquisition and stated, “When Karl became available it was a no-brainer to bring him in. He brings size to our back end. He’s a great skater and defends extremely well, he’s a huge addition. The one thing that really impressed me about Karl was his professionalism and maturity. I really look forward to working with him.”
No doubt Karl Persman will be a do-it-all player for the Corpus Christi IceRays. Standing at 6’7″ tall, he is a very talented player on the ice.
The IceRays are excited to bring him to Corpus Christi, Texas, and wish him luck at his upcoming training camp!
What is a Tender?
A tender is a contract, of sorts. A player signs announcing his intentions to play for that particular NAHL team and that NAHL team only. Once a player signs a tender with an NAHL team, his playing rights belong to that team within the NAHL and he may not be recruited by any other NAHL team. Each team is granted ten (10) tenders – plus or minus any trades – which become active on Nov. 1. Tendered players are not eligible for the NAHL draft.
