The South Carolina Stingrays, proud ECHL affiliate of the NHL’s Washington Capitals and AHL’s Hershey Bears, announced today that goaltender Mitchell Gibson has been re-assigned by Washington from South Carolina to Hershey.
Gibson, 24, went 1-1-1-0 in three starts for South Carolina. He earned his first ECHL victory on November 2 against the Jacksonville Icemen. Two of his three games went to overtime.
Gibson joins the Bears for the second time this season. He won his lone start for Hershey. He stopped 18 of 20 shots he faced in a 3-2 overtime victory for the Bears over the Bridgeport Islanders.
Before turning pro, Gibson spent the last four seasons playing college hockey for the Harvard University Crimson. He went 45-25-6 in 80 NCAA games. Gibson helped the Crimson reach the 16-team NCAA Division I Men’s Ice Hockey Tournament in his junior and senior seasons with the team.
The Stingrays return to action on November 10th for a Friday night tilt against the Atlanta Gladiators. Puck drop is set for 7:05 pm.
