STOCKTON, Calif. - The Stockton Thunder, the ECHL affiliate of the National Hockey League's Edmonton Oilers, has announced defenseman Bryan Young has been assigned to Stockton from the Milwaukee Admirals of the American Hockey League.

Additionally, defenseman Eric Main was placed on the seven-day injured reserve list.

Young, who is scheduled to wear jersey number 6 against the Bakersfield Condors tonight, is making his second tour of duty in Stockton after originally being assigned to the Thunder on December 15. The Ennismore, Ontario native has appeared in two games with the Thunder, collecting two penalty minutes while Stockton went 1-0-1 against Las Vegas and Long Beach.

In 2005-06, Young helped guide Peterborough to the Ontario Hockey League's Robertson Cup league title.

Young is reunited on the Thunder roster with former Peterborough teammate Liam Reddox.
