Adirondack Phantoms News Release
The Philadelphia Flyers announced today that they have loane 5'11", 179-pound left wing Eric Wellwood back to their American Hockey League affiliate, the Adirondack Phantoms, according to general manager Paul Holmgren. Wellwood returns following his second call-up to the Flyers. In his first trip to Philadelphia which began November 1, Wellwood played well in three games recording one assist. But on this trip up that began Sunday following Adirondack's game last Saturday at Norfolk Wellwood did not appear in any games.
Wellwood has five goals and three assists for eight points in 17 games for the Phantoms this season. The native of Windsor, Ontario was selected by the Flyers in the sixth round (172nd overall) of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft. Last year, Wellwood helped lead the Windsor Spitfires of the OHL to a Memorial Cup Championship with 31 goals and 37 assists. He is the younger brother of Kyle Wellwood formerly of the Toronto Maple Leafs and Vancouver Canucks.
The Phantoms are embarking on a stretch of five consecutive road games beginning Saturday night at the Hershey Bears at 7 and continuing Sunday evening at the Connecticut Whale at 5.
Adirondack's next home is Saturday, December 11 against the Portland Pirates featuring the team's first annual Teddy Bear Toss. Fans get to bring their teddy bear donations for the Salvation Army to the game and throw them on the ice after the Phantoms score their first goal.
