Griffins Jersey Number Updates

381

With a relaunched website for the Grand Rapids Griffins comes an updated roster and a look at some new numbers for players entering the 2018-19 season.

Some of the Griffins newcomers have caused returning players to switch their numbers.  Axel Holmstrom will take his third number with the team, switching to #10 to allow Chris Terry to take #25.  Dylan Sadowy,meanwhile loses his #29 to new goalie Harri Sateri, switching to #28.

Trevor Yates switches from #53 to #51, with no one taking his old number.

Jake Chelios will not follow in the footsteps of his father and wear #22 for the Griffins, taking the #27 he wore with the Charlotte Checkers instead.  The #22 goes to Wade Megan.

David Pope has been assigned #12 and Givani Smith gets #54, neither of which were worn last year.  Christoffer Ehn has been given the #26 that formerly belonged to Eric Tangradi.

Incoming goalies Kaden Fulcher and Patrik Rybar will wear #33 and #42, respectively.

Jordan Topping rounds out the updates with #16.  Carter Camper and Trevor Hamilton had previously been given #19 and #14.
