PEORIA, Ill. (WMBD/WYZZ) — The Rivermen have had a way of talking guys out of retirement for runs at a championship. Alec Hagaman may be the most famous example.
He came out of retirement in 2023 and was the President’s Cup most valuable player as the Rivermen for the 2024 SPHL title. Mitch McPherson was also a former retiree who returned to the ice for that 2023-24 championship team. Then there’s JM Piotrowski.
He was on the 2024 championship team and the 2021-22 team that won Peoria its first SPHL title. In fact, he scored the series-clinching goal in overtime in Roanoke for that title. He retired last spring after five years with the Rivermen.
