Hammond Returned to South Carolina
The South Carolina Stingrays announced that defenseman Tariq Hammond has returned to South Carolina after being released from his PTO with Hershey today.
Hammond, 28, is in his fourth season of professional hockey and his third with the Stingrays organization. The defender suited up in four games with the Bears after he signed his first PTO with Hershey on January 30th. The blueliner began this year on a PTO with the AHL’s Henderson Silver Knights, tallying an assist in four games before returning to the Lowcountry on November 3rd. In 29 contests for the Stingrays this year, Hammond has recorded seven assists.
Over the past four years, the native of Calgary, AB. has appeared in 192 games, splitting time with the Silver Knights, Bears, and Binghamton Devils of the AHL, as well as the Stingrays and the ECHL’s Adirondack Thunder.
The Stingrays are back in action tomorrow, February 18th as the team heads to Hertz Arena in Estero, Fla. for the first of two straight games against the Florida Everblades beginning at 7:30 pm.
