PROVIDENCE, RI - The Providence Bruins, in their 18th year in
the American Hockey League, announced that the National Hockey
League's Boston Bruins have reassigned former St. Lawrence
defenseman to the ECHL's Reading Royals.
Ross, 25, returns to Reading, where he has appeared in 20 games,
totaling three goals and two assists. Over two call-ups to
Providence, the defenseman recorded two assists in 18 contests,
along with a minus-five rating. Both points came since the rookie's
latest recall on December 11, 2009 as he tallied his first AHL
helper against the Lowell Devils on December 20, 2009.
Prior to turning pro, the undrafted Ross spent four seasons with
the St. Lawrence University Saints, where he recorded 48 points
(22g, 26a) in 134 collegiate games. The Stony Island, Nova Scotia,
native later made his pro debut during the 2009 ECHL playoffs
following the conclusion of his senior season, collecting one
assist in two playoff games for the Elmira Jackals. Ross signed an
AHL contract with Providence on August 11, 2009 and participated in
the P-Bruins' training camp this season before being assigned to
Reading.
