Griffins Bring Up Yates From Toledo

Nov 06, 2018

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The Grand Rapids Griffins on Tuesday recalled center Trevor Yates from the ECHL’s Toledo Walleye.

Yates, 23, has totaled one assist in three games with the Walleye since being assigned on Oct. 28. The 6-foot-2, 200-pound center began the year with Grand Rapids and recorded four penalty minutes in two games. He made his pro debut with Grand Rapids at the end of the 2017-18 season and notched one assist in a pair of appearances.

A four-year player at Cornell University, Yates skated in 120 contests from 2014-18, producing 65 points (32-33—65), 30 PIM and a plus-20 rating. As a senior in 2017-18, he posted career highs in points (26), goals (13) and assists (13), helping the Big Red capture the Cleary Cup as the ECAC’s regular season champion and earn a second consecutive bid to the NCAA Tournament.

With points in four consecutive outings, the Griffins will play a two-game set at the Manitoba Moose on Thursday and Saturday.

Single-game tickets are currently on sale. Fans can secure their full-season, select-season or group ticket packages by calling (616) 774-4585 ext. 2 or visit griffinshockey.com for more information.
