March 1, 2019 - ECHL (ECHL)
Orlando Solar Bears News Release
ORLANDO, Fla. - The Orlando Solar Bears Celebrity Classic Game, presented by Auto Justice Attorney Michael T. Gibson, P.A. on Saturday, March 2 at 1:30 p.m. at the ARS.com Rink at Amway Center is officially sold out of roster spots. Former Solar Bears defenseman Eric Baier and goaltender Ryan Massa will both participate in the Celebrity Classic Game.
Baier, 30, skated with the Solar Bears for parts of five seasons from 2013-18, where he skated in a club-record 236 games, producing 111 points (33g-78a) and 73 penalty minutes and set franchise marks for career goals, assists and points scored by a defenseman. Baier served as captain in three of his seasons with the team, and was named team MVP during the 2015-16 campaign. Baier was also a three-time recipient of the Rob Kenny Memorial Award for outstanding community service.
Massa, 28, tended goal for the Solar Bears for two seasons from 2015-17, and left his mark on a number of Solar Bears goaltending records. In 78 career appearances, Massa went 41-27-6 with a 3.01 goals-against average, a .913 save percentage and four shutouts. His 22 wins during the 2016-17 season remains the single-season club record for victories, and he also owns the club single-game record for saves with a 57-save performance on Dec. 22, 2016 vs. Florida.
