Hartford Wolf Pack News Release


HARTFORD: Hartford Wolf Pack general manager Chris Drury announced today that the Wolf Pack has signed forward Greg Chase to a Professional Tryout (PTO) agreement and has returned forward Drew Melanson to its ECHL affiliate, the Maine Mariners.

This is the second stint on the Wolf Pack roster for Chase, 24, a fourth-year pro out of the Western Hockey League. He logged three games on an earlier PTO, going scoreless with one shot on goal. In 59 ECHL games this season with the Mariners, Wichita Thunder and the Allen Americans, Chase has scored 22 goals, and added 23 assists for 45 points, while serving 83 minutes in penalties. Those numbers are good for first in goals, third in points and second in PIM on the Maine club, for which Chase has played 36 games, notching 20 goals and 16 assists for 36 points, with 52 PIM.

A seventh-round draft pick (188th overall) by the Edmonton Oilers in 2013, Chase has logged a total of 100 AHL games in his career, with the Wolf Pack, Oklahoma City Barons, Bakersfield Condors and Springfield Thunderbirds, tallying seven goals and 20 assists for 27 points and amassing 55 penalty minutes. In 119 career ECHL contests with the Mariners, Thunder, Americans and Norfolk Admirals, the 6-0, 190-pound Edmonton, Alberta native has totaled 47 goals and 52 assists for 99 points, as well as 139 PIM.

Melanson has one goal, four penalty minutes and nine shots on goal in ten games with the Wolf Pack. In 45 games with the Mariners, the rookie out of Boston University has 12 goals and 17 assists for 29 points.
