Max Shuart has played his last hockey game for the Muskegon Lumberjacks.
Shuart, who played in each of the first 35 games for the USHL club, has not been in the lineup the last four games.
“Muskegon and I pretty much came to the decision that it was best if we parted ways for the remainder of the season and I finish my junior career somewhere else,” Shuart said. “They are finding me a trade this week.”
