Montour Named To AHL All-Rookie Team

Former Tilbury resident and Chatham-Kent Cyclones alumni Brandon Montour has been named to the American Hockey League’s (AHL) All-Rookie Team.

A second round draft pick of the Anaheim Ducks, 55th overall, in 2014, Montour tied for third among AHL rookies in scoring this season with 11 goals, 41 assists, and 52 points in 63 games for the San Diego Gulls.

Montour was the league’s top scoring player with the man advantage, scoring 29 powerplay points this season with San Diego.

The offensive defenseman turned pro at the end of last season after completing half a season of NCAA hockey with the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. Prior to that, Montour played in the USHL with the Waterloo Black Hawks.
