Prior to going pro, the Florida native played three years at AIC where he put up 48 goals and 71 assists for 119 points in 142 games. During the 2018-19 season, Christensen would be a First-Team All-Star and would lead the league in points as he put up 16 goals and 31 assists for 47 points in 41 games.
Kallen returns to North America after spending the 2023-24 season in Scotland with the Glasnow Clan, where he put up five goals and 18 assists for 23 points in 39 games. Prior to going overseas, the 26-year-old winger had put up 11 goals and 29 assists for 40 points in 87 career ECHL games while spending time with the Rapid City Rush and Maine Mariners.
