Jeff Jackson, General Manager of the Toronto Marlies, announced today that the club has signed defenceman Josh Engel to a professional try-out contract.

Engel ranks second on the Gladiators with a plus-four rating. The 6’4” native of Rice Lake, Wisconsin also played in four games with the Providence Bruins earlier this season, collecting zero points and two penalty minutes.
Prior to turning pro this season, Engel played at the University of Wisconsin from 2004-08 and appeared in 100 games for the Badgers collecting 17 points (three goals, 14 assists).
