NORTH CHARLESTON, SC. - The South Carolina Stingrays, proud ECHL affiliate of the NHL's Washington Capitals and AHL's Hershey Bears, announced today that goaltender Mitchell Gibson has been re-assigned by Washington from South Carolina to Hershey. He will be the backup goalie for Hershey's matchup against the Charlotte Checkers tonight.

Last night against the Savannah Ghost Pirates, Gibson scored a goal for the first time in his career.
