GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. The Grand Rapids Griffins of the American Hockey League on Friday signed right wing Robin Bouchard to a professional tryout.

An 11-year veteran who has spent most of his last nine seasons with the Muskegon Fury, Bouchard currently leads the United Hockey League scoring race with 72 points (31-4172) in 52 contests. His 15 power play goals also pace the circuit, while his 31 goals (T2nd) and 41 assists (T5th) rank among the leagues best.

The 31-year-old Bouchard, Muskegons all-time leading scorer, won the UHLs scoring title (55-65120) in 2003-04 and set a pro hockey record with a 17-game goal-scoring streak. His four Colonial Cup championships including three with the Fury tie former Griffin Bruce Ramsay for the most in UHL history.

Bouchard is expected to make his AHL debut tonight when the Griffins host the Utah Grizzlies at 7:30.
