Portland Pirates News Release
Springfield, Mass. - Portland Pirates forward Tyler Ennis was one of six played announced today by the American Hockey League as members of the 2009-10 AHL All-Rookie Team, as voted by AHL coaches, players and media in each of the league's 29 member cities.
Currently on recall from loan by the Buffalo Sabres, Ennis has been a fixture near the top of the AHL's rookie scoring list all season, setting the pace in goals (23-tied), assists (42) and points (65) in 69 games for Portland. The 20-year-old Edmonton native and 2010 AHL All-Star Game MVP also leads AHL rookies with 30 power-play points (9-21-30) to help the Pirates to the league's fourth-ranked unit. A first-round draft pick (26th overall) by Buffalo in 2008, Ennis has played three games for the Sabres and netted a goal in his NHL debut on Nov. 14, 2009.
The Pirates (42-22-6-4, winners of four straight and owners of an active eight-game points (6-0-1-1) streak) return to action Friday when they travel to Springfield to meet the Falcons in a 7:30 p.m. start. Saturday Portland is in Bridgeport to face the Sound Tigers at 7 p.m. Both games can be heard live on News Talk WLOB 95.5 FM or on-line at portlandpirates.com beginning with the pre-game show 15 minutes prior to the opening face-off.
The next Pirates home game takes place Sunday, April 4th when the Providence Bruins visit the CCCC for a 4 p.m. start.
