Hildebrand, 28, from Butler, Pa., finished with a 23-10-5 record in 40 regular-season appearances with the Florida Everblades. He also recorded a 2.40 goals-against average and a .923 save percentage to go with two shutouts.
It was his sixth season in the ECHL, in a career that has also included stops in Texas, Indiana, Oklahoma, and Michigan, plus a 2016 Kelly Cup championship with the Allen (TX) Americans. In 222 career ECHL regular-season outings, he has gone 99-86-23 (3.30, .901) with eight shutouts.
Hildebrand backstopped Michigan State from 2012 to 2016. In 133 career NCAA contests with the Spartans, he finished 45-70-14 (2.54, .921) with 13 shutouts, and was also a First Team All-America selection in 2014-15 after a 17-win, six-shutout campaign.
