Generals sign Jean-Michel Rizk

A new face has joined the Flint Generals as the team came to an agreement with Jean-Michel Rizk, who split this season between Kitchener and Mississauga of the Ontario Hockey League.

Rizk, whose older brother Simon is a former General, had 15 goals, 17 assists and 77 penalty minutes in 61 OHL games.

The 21-year-old Rizk also played three seasons for the Saginaw Spirit and was Kitchener's captain before being traded this season.

"He's a good, solid two-way player," Flint head coach Kevin Kerr said to the Flint Journal. "He's got good work ethic and is a great team guy. From what I understand, he's very knowledgeable and understands the game."
