The South Carolina Stingrays, proud ECHL affiliate of the NHL’s Washington Capitals and AHL’s Hershey Bears, announced on Tuesday that goaltender Hunter Shepard has been re-assigned to the Hershey Bears by the Washington Capitals.

Shepard appeared in one game for the Bears this season on November 14^th against the Charlotte Checkers.

In 30 career games with the Rays, Shepard posted a 15-10-4 record to go along with a 2.82 goals against average and .916 save percentage. With the Bears last season, the 6-foot-1, 210-pound native of Coleraine, MN appeared in three games, boasting a .969 save percentage and 1.00 goals against average.
