Grumet-Morris Returns to Connecticut
HARTFORD, CT -- Connecticut Whale general manager Jim Schoenfeld announced today that the Whale has signed former Harvard goaltender Dov Grumet-Morris to a Professional Tryout (PTO) agreement.
This will be the second stint of the year with the Whale/Hartford Wolf Pack for Grumet-Morris, a sixth-year pro out of Harvard University. The 6-2, 205-pound Evanston, IL native played two games, totaling 91 minutes, with the Wolf Pack earlier this season and was 0-1-0, with two goals-against on 31 shots (a 1.32 goals-against average and a 93.5% save percentage). Grumet-Morris comes to the Whale from its ECHL affiliate, the Greenville Road Warriors, for whom he was 15-8-1 in 24 appearances, with a 2.32 GAA, a 92.2% save percentage and three shutouts. Grumet-Morris was tied for the ECHL lead in shutouts, ranked second in the league in GAA and fourth in save percentage.
In addition to his two games with the Wolf Pack, Grumet-Morris, who was a fifth-round pick (161st overall) by Philadelphia in the 2002 NHL Draft, has AHL experience with San Antonio, Portland, Hamilton, Manitoba and Milwaukee, with career totals of 29 games-played, an 8-13-5 record, 2.55 GAA, 91.5% save percentage and one shutout.
