NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. - The South Carolina Stingrays, proud ECHL affiliate of the NHL's Washington Capitals and AHL's Hershey Bears, have announced that defenseman Reilly Webb has been recalled by Hershey.

Webb, 26, was loaned to South Carolina by the Bears on Sunday and appeared in the Stingrays' Game Three and Game Four victories over the Atlanta Gladiators in the South Division Semifinals, tallying an assist.

The Stoney Creek, Ontario native returned to South Carolina after skating in 16 games in the regular season for Hershey, adding three assists with a +5 rating. Webb also appeared in both games in the Bears' sweep of the Bridgeport Islanders in their first-round matchup in the Calder Cup Playoffs.

In the regular season with the Stingrays, Webb played in 37 games, logging four points (2g, 2a) with 42 penalty minutes and a +1 rating.

The 6-foot-4, 201 pound defenseman originally signed with the Stingrays for a second season on August 12, 2025 before signing a professional tryout contract (PTO) with Hershey on January 22. Webb then signed an American Hockey League contract with the Bears on March 13.

The blueliner is in his second season of professional hockey after spending all of 2024-25 with the Stingrays after South Carolina acquired him in a trade with the Bloomington Bison. In his rookie year, Webb tallied 12 points (3g, 9a) in 68 games, posting a +28 rating, which was tied for sixth best amongst defensemen in the ECHL last year.

Prior to turning pro, Webb spent four seasons at Acadia University where he was an alternate captain in the 2023-24 season. Drafted by the Detroit Red Wings in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, Webb played in 198 games in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) for the Saginaw Spirit and Hamilton Bulldogs from 2016 until 2020.

This Stingrays transaction is brought to you by Huey Magoo's, the Filet Mignon of Chicken.
