WORCESTER, Mass. – The Worcester Railers Hockey Club (@RailersHC), proud ECHL (@ECHL) affiliate of the New York Islanders (@NYIslanders) announced today that the Hartford Wolfpack of the American Hockey League have signed forward Blade Jenkins to a one-way contract for the remainder of the 2023-24 season.
Jenkins, 23, was tied with defenseman Connor Welsh for most games played with the Railers this season at 46. The only game he missed was on January 13th, 2024 when he was signed to professional tryout with Hartford for their game against the Providence Bruins.

Jenkins recorded back-to-back hat tricks within that streak, coming on February 2nd and February 3rd against the Trois-Rivieres Lions.

The Jackson, MI, native has 20 points (10-10-20) in 89 AHL games.
