GREENVILLE, SC - The Greenville Grrrowl announced today that forward KRYS BARCH has been recalled to the Iowa Stars of the AHL. Barch began the season in Iowa, but was sent to Greenville on October 26th, and has served as a Grrrowl alternate captain since his arrival.
In 11 games with the Grrrowl, Barch has six goals and one assist for seven points. He's accumulated 68 penalty minutes, with an ECHL-high 39 PIMs coming in one game on Nov. 12. The 25-year-old scored a goal in all four Grrrowl road games he played in, and his six goals on 31 shots equates to 19.4 shooting percentage.

Selected by the Washington Capitals in the fourth round of the 1998 NHL Draft, Barch played for the OHL's London Knights before turning pro and joining the Portland Pirates at the end of the 1999-00 season. The 6-2, 200-pound forward played parts of four seasons with Portland, and spent time with the ECHL's Richmond Renegades in 2001-02.
