Stingrays' Bjorklund Reassigned To Hershey
The South Carolina Stingrays announced Tuesday that goaltender Garin Bjorklund has been re-assigned from South Carolina to the Hershey Bears.
The 22-year-old Bjorklund is in his third season of professional hockey. He leads South Carolina's goaltenders with a 21-4-3 record, 2.02 goals-against average and .927 save percentage in 29 games played in 2024-25.
The 6-2, 174-pound Calgary, Alberta native is in the final year of an entry-level NHL contract with the Washington Capitals, who selected him in the sixth round (179th overall) of the 2020 NHL Draft. He has yet to play an AHL game in his professional career.
In three ECHL seasons, Bjorklund has a 36-15-4 record with a 2.66 GAA and .905 SP in 57 games.
Before turning pro, Bjorklund spent parts of four seasons with the Western Hockey League's Medicine Hat Tigers, appearing in 96 career WHL games.
With three wins last week, the Stingrays (46-14-3-2) extended their win streak to 11 games and currently sit in first place in the ECHL with 97 points. They are three points ahead of the Florida Everblades for the top spot in the league and need just two points to guarantee home-ice advantage in the first round of the Kelly Cup Playoffs.
South Carolina will clinch home-ice advantage for the first round if the Jacksonville Icemen lose in regulation on Wednesday or if the Stingrays win on Friday in Kalamazoo.
This spring, the Stingrays are heading to the Kelly Cup Playoffs for the 29th time in the team’s 32 seasons of existence. They will attempt to win their fourth Kelly Cup Championship this season.
The Stingrays travel to Kalamazoo this week to take on the Wings on Friday. Puck drop is set for 7 Pm ET.
