Reigle Gains Votes As All-Star, Gets A Henry Vote Any Time
HERSHEY, Pa One of the main cogs in the Hershey Bears’ march to a berth in the American Hockey League’s Calder Cup playoffs has been Edmund Reigle, stellar defenseman, who came down to the Chocolate Town club when the Boston Bruins recalled Ross Lowe shortly after the season got under way.

In the tight race both clubs compiled the best won-lost record in their histories. They made it a two-team battle almost from start to finish.
