The Philadelphia Flyers announced Thursday that they have
recalled former Princeton forward Darroll Powe from their American
Hockey League affiliate, the Philadelphia Phantoms, according to
club General Manager Paul Holmgren. Powe has been assigned uniform
number #36 and will be available for tonight’s Flyers-New
Jersey Devils game at Wachovia Center (Comcast SportsNet and 610
WIP at 7:00 p.m.).
Powe, 23, was scoreless in three games for the Flyers this season.
He has recorded four goals and three assists for seven points and
20 penalty minutes in eight games for the Phantoms this season. He
posted 23 points (9G,14A) and 133 penalty minutes in 76 regular
season games for the Phantoms last season. He was third on the team
in penalty minutes with 133.
Over parts of the last three seasons with the Phantoms (2006-07
through 2008-09), Powe has recorded 15 goals and 19 assists for 34
points and 173 penalty minutes in 95 regular season games. He
posted four points (2G,2A) and 20 penalty minutes in 11 regular
season games with the Phantoms after joining the team at the
completion of his senior season at Princeton University
(2006-07).
In four seasons with the Princeton Tigers (2003-04 through
2006-07), Powe registered 28 goals and 32 assists for 60 points and
180 penalty minutes in 120 games. He was a two-time winner of The
Richard F. Vaughan Cup (2006 and 2007), which is “awarded
annually to that varsity player who best exemplifies perseverance
and dedication to Princeton hockey.” He also won The
Blackwell Trophy for the 2006-07 season, which is “awarded
annually to that member of the Princeton varsity hockey team who in
play, sportsmanship and influence has contributed most to the
sport.”
A native of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Powe was signed by the Flyers
as a free agent on April 17, 2008.
