Americans Sign Defenseman Dallas Ehrhardt

Dallas Ehrhardt




The Allen Americans have signed defenseman Dallas Ehrhardt who was released by the Evansville IceMen (ECHL) on October 24th. He had signed with Evansville in August and played in one regular season game before being released. The 21 year old blue-liner played four seasons in the Western Hockey League, most recently with the Prince George Cougars in 2012-2013. He played in in 62 games with the Cougars and recorded 23 points (6 goals & 17 assists). The 6' 4" 226 pound defensemen also spent three seasons with the Moose Jaw Warriors from 2009-2012 where he appeared in 135 games and notched 45 points (5 goals & 40 assists).

During his junior career Ehrhardt played with three former Allen Americans (Justin Kirsch, Spencer Edwards, & Ben Wilson). He has an older brother, Travis, who is a defenseman for the St. John's IceCaps (AHL).

Even though, as I read in a scouting report, this is a big dude who plays a physical game, Dallas has had only about four fights per year in his junior career. I took a look at many of his fights and in everyone one of them he was defending a teammate. I'd say you can add his name to the Americans pack of wolves if you know what I mean.

A self proclaimed movie buff, he also utilizes social media. He is on Facebook and Twitter. If you would like to follow him his twitter handle is @Dheart6.

Look for Ehrhardt to be on the ice tonight against Tulsa.
