Bears Win Calder, Set AHL Record

Bears Win Calder, Set AHL Record

A solid 3 goal first period by Hershey took the wind out of the Manitoba Moose, and set up was to become the Calder Cup winning game, the 10th in Hersey Bears history, and a new AHL record.  Goals by Andrew Gordon, Alexandre Giroux, Chris Bourque and Keith Aucoin helped the Bears secure the victory, with the Moose only scoring once in the game by Mario Bliznack.

The win came the same day Dan Bylsma’s Pittsburgh Penguins won the NHL’s Stanley Cup.  Bylsma started the 2008/2009 season in the AHL.
