Veteran Forward Ignatovich Returns for Final Season with Eagles

The Colorado Junior Eagles are proud to announce the signing and return of veteran forward, Tommy Ignatovich, for the 2018-2019 season.

Entering his 3rd season of junior hockey, Ignatovich has played in 85 games. The two-way forward has amassed 31 goals and 45 assists for 76 points. "I am extremely excited to come back to Northern Colorado for my last year of junior hockey. I'm also excited to have an opportunity at one more chance to win the Thorne Cup with the Eagles organization. I can't wait to get started," said Ignatovich, eager to start the 2018-2019 campaign.

The 5'9", 160-pound forward has also had success on the world stage.
