Greenville Retains Services of Shields

GREENVILLE, SC - The Greenville Road Warriors announced today that they have signed returning forward Connor Shields, a former Dartmouth standout.

Shields, 27, comes back to Greenville for his third season of professional hockey. The Dartmouth College graduate played 55 games for the Road Warriors last season and posted 47 points (16G, 31A). His point total was good for sixth most on the team despite missing the final five weeks of the season after a call up to the Milwaukee Admirals of the American Hockey League. With the Admirals, Shields netted a goal and an assist in 14 games. For his career, Shields has 109 points (44G, 65A) in 125 ECHL games. He was an All-Star as a rookie in 2009-10 and led the Johnstown Chiefs for that campaign with 62 points (28G, 34A) in 70 games.
