Florida Everblades News Release
ESTERO, FL - Florida Everblades president and general manager Craig Brush, along with head coach Gerry Fleming announced today that defenseman Martin Tuma has been recalled to the Rochester Americans of the American Hockey League.
Tuma, 20, is making his second trip to the AHL this season after posting six assists and 75 penalty minutes in 48 games with the Everblades this season. The native of the Czech Republic previously skated in one game with the Americans on December 23.
