The Buffalo Bandits have signed forward Chase Fraser to a one-year contract.
Fraser (6’2”, 210 lbs., 8/3/1995) finished the 2019-20 season with 26 points (16+10) in eight regular-season games, ranking in the top five on the Bandits in both goals (4th) and points (5th). Despite the shortened season, Fraser set a new career high in points per game (3.25), power-play goals (3), power-play points (8) and shorthanded goals (2).
The Langley, British Columbia native has totaled 84 points (53+31) in 33 career games. Since entering the league during the 2017-18 season, Fraser ranks in the top 15 in both faceoffs wins (171, 13th) and faceoff percentage (.490, 13th) among players who have taken at least 80 draws. His 53 goals are the most among players who rank in the top 15 in faceoffs since 2017-18, 38 more than the next closest player (Jake Withers, 15). Fraser was selected by the Bandits in the second round (13th overall) of the 2017 NLL Entry Draft.
