While the Florida Panthers continue to build off the momentum of their franchise-record 11-game winning streak, a member of the team’s minor-league affiliate has quietly been enjoying a personal resurgence of his own.
After spending the past four seasons toiling in Europe, forward Rob Schremp has seemingly rediscovered his game as a member of the Portland Pirates, scoring 13 goals and 27 points in 32 games this season to earn a spot on the Eastern Conference roster at the 2016 AHL All-Star Classic.
“It’s pretty cool,” Schremp told FloridaPanthers.com via telephone on Friday. “It’s obviously an honor to be named as an All-Star in the league and it gives me a little more motivation towards my dream of playing back in the NHL.
