Adirondack Phantoms News Release
The Adirondack Phantoms have announced they have signed forward Rob Bordson to an AHL contract, according to head coach Joe Paterson. The University of Minnesota-Duluth product returns to the Phantoms after leading the Trenton Titans in scoring up to this point in the season. Bordson will wear uniform #9 for Adirondack.
The hard-working Bordson played in 61 games in his rookie season last year with Adirondack scoring seven goals and 14 assists for 28 points. He also played in 15 games with the Syracuse Crunch at the beginning of the season scoring one goal and two assists.
The 23-year-old currently paces the Trenton Titans (ECHL) with 17 goals and 34 assists for 51 points. While he had been playing with Adirondack's affiliate, he was not on contract with the Phantoms. He was on an ECHL contract with the Titans. In just 38 games in the ECHL this year, he is 8th in the league in assists and 11th in points.
The Duluth native spent three weeks in the AHL this season with the Rochester Americans on a professional tryout contract from December 9-30 appearing in eight games. He was then sent back to Trenton where he continued to pace the team's scoring.
Bordson initially joined Adirondack in November last year in a trade with Syracuse along with defenseman Danny Syvret in exchange for Pat Maroon and David Laliberte.
