Vancouver Canucks General Manager Jim Benning announced that the club has signed defenseman and NAHL alum Brogan Rafferty to a one-year entry-level contract.
 
"We're pleased to have Brogan join our organization after a solid career at Quinnipiac," said Benning. "We look forward to him taking the next step and continuing to evolve his game."
 
Rafferty, 23, appeared in 38 games for Quinnipiac University and collected 24 points (4-20-24). The 6'0", 195-pound defenceman ranked 7th on the Bobcats, and third among defencemen, in scoring in 2018.19. In three seasons with Quinnipiac, Rafferty accumulated 60 points (9-51-60) in 108 games.

In 2016.17, he became the fifth freshman in Quinnipiac's NCAA Division 1 history to lead the team in assists.
 
Rafferty spent two full seasons playing in the NAHL, both with the Coulee Region Chill. Rafferty made his NAHL debut during the 2012-13 season with the Topeka RoadRunners, scoring a goal and adding an assist in his one game debut.
