AHL Hershey Bears

Roster Turmoil Continues as Gavin Morgan Recalled by Dallas

December 2, 2003 - American Hockey League (AHL)
Hershey Bears News Release


The HERSHEY BEARS announced today in conjunction with the NHL's Dallas Stars that forward Gavin Morgan has been recalled from HERSHEY, and will join the Stars immediately.

This is the first NHL recall for Morgan, who played three seasons for the Utah Grizzlies, the top farm team of the Stars. Morgan was acquired during the BEARS' 2003 Training Camp in exchange for defenseman Tim Wedderburn. At the time of recall, Morgan leads HERSHEY in penalty minutes with 65, and has five goals and ten points in 23 games played. He scored a career high 15 goals last season with the Utah Grizzlies. He is also one of only three players to appear in all 23 games so far this season for HERSHEY, with the other two being Shane Willis and Agris Saviels. Willis was recalled Monday to the NHL's Tampa Bay Lightning. Dallas is in action on Thursday night when they travel to Los Angeles to take on the Kings. The BEARS begin the month of December with the top point total in the AHL, and play three games this week. After hosting Philadelphia at 7:30 on Wednesday, HERSHEY travels to Bridgeport for an early East Division showdown with the Sound Tigers Saturday night.

The BEARS return to GIANT Center Sunday for a home game with Syracuse. Face-off Sunday night is at 5:00 p.m. Tickets are available all this week at the GIANT Center box office, or by calling (717) 534-3911.
