Stockton, Calif. - The Stockton Thunder, proud ECHL affiliate of the NHL's New York Islanders and AHL's Bridgeport Sound Tigers, have been assigned forward Adam Brace from the AHL while forward Ben Rosen has been called up to Bridgeport, Head Coach and Director of Hockey Operations Rich Kromm announced Tuesday.

Rosen, 25, was assigned to the Thunder from Bridgeport on September 28th and has played in 49 ECHL games posting 6 goals and 9 assists.

Brace tallied 8 points in 10 games with the Thunder after being sent down and had 1 goal and 1 assist in two games in his most recent stint in the AHL.

It was the second trip to the AHL for Brace who started the 2013-14 season with the Charlotte Checkers, before being traded to San Antonio for former Thunder player Philippe Cornet. The rookie forward has now played 12 career games in the AHL with 8 points.
