The Hershey Bears have announced they have signed two-time All-American Hunter Shepard to a contract for the 2020-21 season. Shepard said in a phone interview with Capitals Outsider on Monday that he has “no clue” what that season is going to look like.
Shepard, 24 , would not disclose what the Bears said to him about how they see him fitting into the team, but said that he is “excited” he gets to prolong his hockey career.
The 6’1″ 210 lbs goalie might not be a name on a lot of people’s radars, but his stats at the University of Minnesota Duluth speak for themselves.
