HERSHEY, Pa. — Ethen Frank is the Hershey Bears fastest skater and he's off to a fast start when it comes to scoring goals.
The two-time Calder Cup Champion is second in the AHL with 12 goals. That's three times more than anyone else on his team. Three others are next with four goals apiece.
"We know he can score goals and he has that speed and he just has to find that consistency in his game," explained Bears V.P. of Hockey Operations Bryan Helmer. "If he does that, the sky is the limit for him, in my opinion.”
Every time #28 jumps over the boards, fans are ready for something exciting to happen. His progress can't be measured just by looking at the score sheet.
“He has to use his ability to be the fastest skater on the ice, get in on the forecheck and go to the hard areas, if he does that and keeps growing the way that he’s growing, he’s going to be an NHL player.”
Frank and the Bears are setting the pace once again in the Atlantic Division. They host the Laval Rocket on FOX43 Wednesday at 7 p.m.
