Chicago Wolves News Release
The Atlanta Thrashers have reassigned center BRAD SCHELL from the ECHL's Gwinnett Gladiators to the Chicago Wolves.
The 22-year-old forward appeared in 10 games with the Wolves last season during his American Hockey League debut, netting three points (G, 2A) and two penalty minutes.
SCHELL currently leads the ECHL with a career-high 74 assists and a career-best 95 points - 22 more than the next closet player in the league - in 49 games this season. He has registered multiple points in 32 of those contests, which includes 15 outings with three or more. His 74 assists and 95 points are both Gwinnett franchise records.
The Scott, Saskatchewan, native recorded a goal in the 2007 ECHL All-Star Game last month while serving as the team captain for the American Conference. He was named the ECHL Player of the Month for December after leading the league with 22 assists and 30 points that month.
The Thrashers' sixth pick, 167th overall, in the 2002 National Hockey League Entry Draft, SCHELL has racked up 227 points (58G, 169A) in 180 ECHL games with the Gladiators over the past three years. Last year, he helped Gwinnett reach the Kelly Cup Finals with 12 assists and 13 points in 17 postseason tilts.
