McBride Returns to Elmira

HOUSTON -- Houston Aeros General Manager Jim Mill today announced that the American Hockey League (AHL) club has released former St. Lawrence forward Brock McBride from his Professional Tryout (PTO) contract, and returned him to the Elmira Jackals of the East Coast Hockey League (ECHL).

McBride, 24 (10/18/86), appeared in 18 games with the Aeros and registered six points (3-3-6) along with a plus-5 rating and 12 penalty minutes (PIM). He scored the game-winning goal Nov. 17 vs. Chicago. The Cornwall, Ontario, native is in his second pro season after a four year career at St. Lawrence University (NCAA).

McBride has appeared in six games with the Jackals this season, five to begin the season and one at the end of November, and has registered at least a point in all contests (2g-7a). The Jackals had initially loaned McBride to Houston on Oct. 28 and received him back from the Aeros on Nov. 28 for one game before McBride returned for more action with Houston.
