ST. LOUIS – St. Louis Blues President John Davidson announced Wednesday the club has re-signed forward Adam Cracknell.

Cracknell, 24, was originally signed by St. Louis as a free agent on July 23, 2009 and spent the 2009-10 season with the Blues’ American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Peoria Rivermen.

During his first season in Peoria, the 6’2”, 210-pound forward made 76 appearances, tallying 38 points including 17 goals and 21 assists to go along with 40 penalty minutes. Prior to joining the Rivermen, Cracknell spent a little more than a season with the AHL’s Quad City Flames where he totaled 27 points (11 goals, 16 assists) and 36 penalty minutes in 83 games.

The Prince Albert, Saskatchewan native was originally drafted by Calgary in the ninth round, 279th overall in the 2004 Entry Draft.
