He is good at using his size, and we are very familiar with him from his time with Utah.” The 6-foot-2, 203-pound right-shot winger served as an alternate captain with Utah over the last three seasons and ranked third on the team with 21 goals during the 2023-24 season. Fitze has reached double-digit goals in all his five full seasons in the ECHL, breaking the 15-goal plateau on two occasions and pacing a 20-goal season over a full 72-game season three times. In addition to his time with the Grizzlies, Fitze has also worn an Orlando Solar Bears [https://thehockeynews.com/echl/latest-news/solar-bears-sign-returning-forward]sweater and played two games with the Kansas City Mavericks [https://thehockeynews.com/echl/latest-news/3-top-performances-from-wednesday-kids-day-in-the-echl].
