HOUSTON, Texas – The Houston Aeros have loaned center Alex Leavitt to the ECHL’s Texas Wildcatters, the teams announced Wednesday.

Leavitt, 22 (1/31/84), has posted 11 points (2-9=11) in 23 games with the Aeros. Last season with ECHL Alaska, Leavitt led the circuit in scoring with 91 points (26-65=91) as a rookie.

so he's a good upgrade?

This is VERY good for our team.

Last season, he won the Kelly Cup with the Alaska Aces, was rookie of the year, and led the entire league in points.

And he has spent all of this season up in the AHL with the Houston Aeros.

We traded Gino Guyer to Alaska this season for the rights to Leavitt, so that Houston could send him to us when needed.

Alex is a center, which is what we need since Marco Rosa is in the AHL.
