Gresock recently signed a contract to spend the 2024-25 season with the Coventry Blaze of the Elite Ice Hockey League (EIHL).

The Walleye have had quite the turnover from when the season officially ended. They have lost nine players to play overseas from the roster but look forward to the challenges ahead. Graves is a player who could return based on his physical style of play, which could be helpful with the turnover they likely face.
