PROVIDENCE, RI - The Providence Bruins, in their 18th year in
the American Hockey League, announced that they have recalled
former St. Lawrence defenseman Jared Ross from the ECHL's Reading
Royals.
Ross, 25, returns from Reading, where he has appeared in 21 games,
totaling three goals and two assists. He was assigned to Reading on
January 26 and suited up for one game, a 4-1 loss to the Gwinnett
Gladiators the following night. Over two previous call-ups to
Providence, Ross has recorded two assists in 18 contests. Both
points came during the rookie's last recall as he tallied his first
career 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.
