Butler Returning To Thunderbolts

Evansville Thunderbolts Head Coach and Director of Hockey Operations Jeff Bes announced today the re-signing of defenseman, Tanner Butler for the 2021-2022 season.  

Butler, 6’, 190 pounds, spent 34 games with the Thunderbolts during the 2019-2020 season, earning 2 goals and 4 assists. “Tanner was really starting to gain confidence in his game prior to the shutdown, said Bes. “After playing last season overseas and continuing his development, we look for him to be a big part of our defense core this season.

Jones was placed on the team’s protected player list in May. 

“I’m looking forward to stepping onto the ice at the Ford Center in front of the fans, it’ll be an exciting year and hoping to continue the momentum we had before we shut down during the 2019-2020 season,” Butler said.
