Orlando Solar Bears News Release


ORLANDO, Fla. - The Orlando Solar Bears, proud affiliate of the NHL's Toronto Maple Leafs and AHL's Toronto Marlies, have announced that goaltender Rob Madore has been recalled to the Toronto Marlies.

Madore, 27, has played in 13 games for Orlando this season, sporting a 5-4-4 record with a 2.82 goals-against average and a .915 save percentage. This is his second recall to the Marlies of the season, after being initially called up on Nov. 3 before being returned to the Solar Bears on Nov. 12. During that stretch of time he did not appear in a game for the Marlies.

In related news, the Solar Bears have added emergency backup goaltender Bobby Fowler.

The Solar Bears continue their fourth season in the ECHL, presented by Auto Justice Attorney Michael T. Gibson, P.A. at home on Saturday, Dec. 5 at 7:00 p.m. at the Amway Center against the Atlanta Gladiators. The Solar Bears will host their fourth annual Teddy Bear Toss, presented by Tijuana Flats. Be sure to bring your teddy bears to throw onto the ice after the Solar Bears score their first goal of the game! The teddy bears collected will be donated to needy families through the holiday season by the Community Food and Outreach Center. A limited quantity of teddy bears will also be available for purchase at the GEICO Garage and Disney Atrium, with net proceeds from the sale of the teddy bears to be donated to the CFOC. Make sure you're in the holiday spirit, as the Solar Bears will take the ice wearing their Ugly Sweater Jerseys, which will be auctioned off during the game behind Section 115. Saturday's game is also Scout Night, and the first 1,000 scouts that attend the game in uniform will receive a commemorative Solar Bears Scout Night patch.
