Myrtle Beach Thunderboltz News Release
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. â The Norfolk Admirals announced today that they have reassigned defenseman Ryan Gaucher to their ECHL affiliate, the Florence Pride. Additionally, the team has released right wing Bobby Russell from his professional tryout (PTO). Russell is expected to report to Florence as well.
Gaucher's reassignment follows the Pride's acquisition of his ECHL rights yesterday.

Last year, he posted 1+3=4 points, 12 PIM and a plus-1 rating in 19 games with Norfolk.
Russell was originally signed to a PTO on October 7 and re-signed to a PTO on November 29. In 29 games with Norfolk this season, he netted 1+2=3 points, 14 PIM and a minus-9 rating.
Both players will be uniform tonight when the Pride host the Florida Everblades at 7:30 p.m. Tickets for the game are available at the Florence Civic Center Box Office, or through TicketMaster at (843) 679-9333.
