Forward Mitch Fossier has signed a new contract to return to the club for the 2025-26 campaign.
The 28-year-old arrived at the Motorpoint Arena in mid-November and had a standout year, leading the team in scoring with 52 points (16+36) in 40 regular-season matches while also adding two goals and added two assists in four Challenge Cup games.
He had an outstanding post-season campaign, helping Panthers win the Playoff Championship with 10 points (6+4) in four matches, including scoring the game-winner in second overtime of the final.
Fossier, who can play in all three forward positions, tallied 128 points (38+90) in four seasons at college in the NCAA at the University of Maine.
His performances in the NCAA attracted the attention of AHL side Rockford and he signed his first professional contract with the IceHogs ahead of the 2020-21 campaign.
After a free-scoring season in Slovakia with HC Banska Bystrica, Fossier returned to North America with Maine Mariners in 2022-23 where he netted 57 points (21+36) in 47 regular-season matches.
In 2023-24, he scored 33 points for Atlanta Gladiators of the ECHL and has had AHL call-ups to Providence Bruins and San Jose Barracuda.
