Liwiski becomes the fourth Manitoban on the team, joining Flin Flon’s Ashton Sautner, Portage’s Dean Stewart, and Foxwarren’s Dawson Barteaux.

Caron, 22, was limited to just seven AHL games during an injury-shortened 2022-2023 season.

The winger returns for a third season with the club after tallying only two assists last season. He scored three goals and three assists in 40 games as a rookie.
