Furgele, 27, will join his fourth ECHL team.Known as a puck-moving blueliner throughout his entire career, Furgele has scored 10 goals and 21 assists in 92 pro games. His stops in the ECHL, aside from the Maine Mariners, include the Kansas City Mavericks and Atlanta Gladiators.The Glen Mills, Pennsylvania native split his time playing college hockey between the University of New Hampshire and Quinnipiac University.
