Fraser appeared in 47 games with Cincinnati during the 2023-24 season, recording 13 points (three goals, 10 assists) and racking up 130 penalty minutes. He served as the team’s primary enforcer that season, bringing a strong physical presence to the lineup.
With Worcester this season, Fraser appeared in six games, putting up zero points and a whopping 32 PIM.
With Fraser back, the Cyclones now have two clear enforcers in the mix, Fraser and fourth-liner Justin Portillo. While defenseman Rhett Parsons can also bring a physical edge, Fraser and Portillo stand out as the team’s veteran enforcers.
Fraser is expected to slot right into this Cyclones defensive core that features a good mix of a few young AHL players and veteran experience, giving him another opportunity to make an impact in a familiar setting.
