The Hershey Bears are ready for puck drop ahead of their season-opening matchup against the Belleville Senators, Saturday night.
The team announced its 31-player, Opening Night roster that includes 19 forwards, 9 defensemen, and 3 goaltenders.
The Bears feature 16 returning players from the 2023 Calder Cup Championship team, including 2023 AHL Playoff MVP Hunter Shepard and Capitals prospects Hendrix Lapierre and Vincent Iorio. Ivan Miroshnichenko and Alexander Suzdalev have both made the Bears and will play their rookie seasons in the AHL.
The Hershey Bears added to their defensive depth on Wednesday. The Bears announced they have signed defenseman Colin Swoyer to a one-year AHL contract. Swoyer split last season between the ECHL and AHL in the Pittsburgh Penguins’ organization.
The 25-year-old is a Michigan Tech graduate and has 41 career games of experience with Hershey’s rival Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. The right-handed blueliner has also got into six games for the ECHL’s Wheeling Nailers.
