The Winnipeg Jets announced Tuesday they have signed Michigan freshman defenseman Jacob Trouba to an undisclosed contract.
Trouba played 37 games with the Wolverines during the 2012-13 season and recorded 29 points on 12 goals and 17 assists with 88 penalty minutes. He was named to the CCHA All-Rookie Team and earned best offensive defenseman honors.
Trouba, a member of the United States’ World Junior Championship-winning team in January, was drafted by the Jets in the first round (ninth overall) in the 2012 NHL draft.
