HERSHEY, Pa. - The Hershey Bears announced today that goaltender Brandon Anderson has been reassigned to the club from the ECHL's South Carolina Stingrays. The announcement was made by Bears president/general manager Doug Yingst.

Anderson, 22, has dressed in seven games with the Stingrays this season, recording a mark of 1-4-2, a goals-against average of 2.65 and save percentage of .889.

While playing for the ECHL's Reading Royals in 2013-14, Anderson fashioned his best professional season. Posting a record of 25-10-1, he finished second in the league in wins, third in shutouts (five) and seventh in goals-against average (2.35).

Anderson first joined Hershey late in the 2011-12 regular season but did not appear in a game. He finished the final season of his WHL junior career with the Brandon Wheat Kings that year, after starting 2011-12 and spending the three previous years with the Lethbridge Hurricanes. In 138 career games in the WHL, Anderson has a record of 44-62-17.
