Sneath, who played for the Rockers from 2023-25, brings veteran leadership to the locker room.

In two seasons, Sneath tallied 76 points in 70 games, adding eight points in six playoff games with Motor City.

The Chino native returns to the Rockers sitting fifth among the team’s all-time scorers. He is currently 52 points behind Scott Coash for the all-time mark.

Last season, Sneath spent the majority of his time in Topeka, where he was a point-a-game player, amassing 36 points in 35 games.

Sneath also played five games last year in the ECHL with the Utah Grizzlies.
