Hershey Bears Garrett Mitchell signed a one-year AHL contract Monday, which means their captain will return for his seventh season with the Bears.
“We’re extremely happy to have our captain back for another season,” said Vice President of Hockey Operations Bryan Helmer. “Garrett Mitchell is a great leader both on and off the ice, and plays a large role in the Hershey community. As we chase a 12th Calder Cup, we believe Garrett is the perfect person to lead our team and set a great example for younger players. He does all the little things right, and is a true professional.
