The Texas Stars have added forward Reid Sturos on an amateur tryout today. Sturos played most recently at Michigan Tech and previously laced them up for the Omaha Lancers of the USHL.

Texas has good history with some of the smaller Michigan schools, including Ferris State and Michigan Tech. Stars GM Scott White played at Michigan Tech and goalie Josh Robinson did as well. Ferris State produced many Stars, most notably Greg Rallo, but also Cory Kane and Cody Chupp.

Here's the release:

The Texas Stars, American Hockey League affiliate of the NHL’s Dallas Stars, announced Thursday the team has signed rookie forward Reid Sturos to an amateur tryout agreement.
