Pirates Take Over SS Hershey, Beat the Bears 3-1


HERSHEY, PA – Michael Stone scores on Braden Holtby in the second period during Hershey’s 3-1 loss to Portland (Tim Stough – Sweetest Hockey on Earth)

Through eleven games, they’ve fired only 92 shots on net during the first period, which averages out to a little over eight, a dreadful amount. Looking to turn things around Sunday against the Portland Pirates, the Bears came out flat again, firing 5 shots on goal in the first period. The Bears would end up losing 3-1.

Graham Mink Really Wants the Lockout to End

Long-time Hershey Bear and fan favorite, Graham Mink, has still not found a new team to play for in the AHL. And in this photo he tweeted from his Twitter account tonight, you can see how far he has fallen.
