Vaskivuo, 25, has tallied 51 goals over the past two seasons with the Gems and was the team’s leading scorer with 60 points (26-34=60) during the 2010-11 season.

The former Merrimack College star scored 25 goals with 24 assists during his rookie season (2009-10) while the Gems were a member of the International Hockey League.
