PHILADELPHIA -- 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, 23, recorded two goals and an assist for three points and 11 penalty minutes in five 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 13 goals and 17 assists for 30 points and 164 penalty minutes in 92 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.
