ALLEN, TX – The Allen Americans, and partner Globe Life, are proud to announce that the team has signed goalie Francis Marotte to a contract for the 2021-2022 season.
Francis Marotte returns after playing in 12 games last season with the team. He had an impressive 8-3-1 record and a .917 save percentage.
“Francis (Marotte) is one of the top young goalies in the league,” Americans Head Coach and GM Steve Martinson said. “He had a great college career. He’s in great shape. And he’s always looking to get better. We will be sending him to an NHL Camp later this month.”
Marotte turned 26 years old on May 1st. The native of Longueuil, Quebec joined the Americans last season from Bridgeport of the American Hockey League.
