The Baton Rouge Zydeco are thrilled to announce the addition of Pavel Svintsov, Josh Slegers, and Brendan Ronan to the team in a three-for-one trade with the Blue Ridge Bobcats where they will receive the rights to Nikita Kozyrev.
Svintsov, a 6'1" forward, played the 2023-2024 season with the Motor City Rockers, recording 44 points in 52 games before moving to play in the France3 league, where he scored 25 points in 13 games.
Slegers, a strong defenseman standing 6'3", will be calling Baton Rouge home after playing the 2024-2025 season in Wytheville.
Completing the trade is Brendan Ronan, a 6'2" forward who attended Worcester State University, a Division 3 school. He has played with several Single-A teams and spent time with the Athens Rock Lobsters and the Motor City Rockers last year.
Svintsov, Slegers, and Ronan will be valuable additions to the team this season. All three are sizable players who bring a wealth of talent to our roster. This team is being built with character in mind and we are committed to putting the best product on the ice possible, to bring a championship to Baton Rouge.
