"Brett has been the heart and soul of the club since his arrival and we can’t think of a better person to kick off our roster building news," explained Head Coach Paul Dixon.

"Brett is obviously good in a lot of statistical categories as a guy who is always among our points leaders, but he brings a work ethic and a desire that just helps set the tone for the rest of the guys in the dressing room.

"He will do what he thinks is necessary to help win hockey games and he will do it with a healthy stack of emotional energy. Guys can’t help but try to follow his lead and it makes us a better team. We are thrilled that he is back and that we have been able to lock him down for the next two seasons."
