Stefan Chaput, a regular at our Tiger Paw Elite Summer Hockey School Friday Scrimmage, is back in the AHL playing for the Montreal Canadiens farm team, Hamilton Bulldogs. He will be joining former Tiger callup Louis Leblanc when the Bulldogs face the Tampa Bay Lightning's farm team, Syracuse Crunch tonight at the War Memorial.
Chaput, who was called up from the Wheeling Nailers of the ECHL on November 26th, was the third leading scorer for the Nailers prior to the call up.
Chaput has played 164 regular season games over parts of five seasons in the American Hockey League from 2008-2012 for the Providence Bruins, Syracuse Crunch, Charlotte Checkers and Albany River Rats registering 71 points (24 goals, 47 assists), 51 penalty minutes and a +11 rating.
