STINGRAYS Sign Cameron Heath, CK ‘12

The South Carolina Stingrays, proud affiliate of the NHL’s Washington Capitals and the AHL’s Hershey Bears, made multiple transactions including the signing of defenseman Cameron Heath who recently finished his collegiate career at Canisius College.

Heath, 24, will make his professional debut with South Carolina after spending his previous four seasons on the blue line at Canisius and scoring 78 points in 150 total NCAA games on 25 goals and 53 assists. A native of Troy, Mich., Heath had his highest scoring season as a senior this year, posting 23 points on four goals and 19 assists in 37 contests.

The 6-foot-1, 192-pound defender also had a standout junior season in 2017-18 when he led all Canisius defensemen in goals (7), assists (14) and points (21) while ranking second on the team in plus-minus at +11 before being named to the All-Atlantic Hockey Conference First Team. The season prior, Heath was named the AHA’s Best Defenseman when his school won the league’s regular season championship.

Before attending Canisius, Heath helped the New Jersey Hitmen to a USPHL Premier championship in 2014-15 with 43 points in 49 games on 10 goals and 33 assists.
