Eight months ago, Nathan Walker’s season ended early after an ACL tear in the ECHL. After months of rehab, the Australian forward returned to Giant Center, scoring in the Bears preseason loss to Albany. “I thought Walker had a strong game,” said Bears head coach Troy Mann. “He was good on the penalty kill. He’s that type of kid that’s really got to get his confidence back.”

Game Recap

During Paul Fixter’s coaching tenure with the Hershey Bears about a decade ago, he implemented a motto, “Earned, never given.” The phrase captured the minds of his players in effort to spread the message that all positive results on the ice have to be earned, and are rarely handed over on a silver platter.

But unfortunately on Saturday night, a border-line joke of a 3-1 Norfolk Admirals win over the Hershey Bears was more on the given side.

Your highlight of the night was in the second period during a tied 1-1 hockey game. Nate Schmidt appeared to be slew footed in the Hershey offensive end and went down to the ice in a heap of pain. The Admirals’ countered down ice on a 2-on-1 rush, setting the stage for a game-winning goal by Chris Wagner at 14:18 of the period.
