BY: Michael Keeley, Maine Mariners
PORTLAND, ME – December 19, 2019 – The AHL’s Laval Rocket have reassigned defenseman Ryan Culkin to Maine. Culkin is off to a tremendous start with the Mariners this season, registering 12 points in 14 games.
A 26-year-old defenseman from Montreal, QC, Culkin has been up and down between Laval and Maine over the past two seasons. He signed with the Rocket prior to the 2018-19 season, but played the majority of the year with the Mariners, suiting up in 39 games. Culkin had two goals and 20 assists for Maine, while putting up one goal in 10 AHL games for the Rocket.
Culkin re-signed with Laval in the summer of 2019, and began the season in Maine. Through 14 games, Culkin has four goals and eight assists. He registered four points (one goal, three assists) in a game on November 22nd in Norfolk, and was called up the following day. Culkin played in just one game for the Rocket upon his recall.
The Mariners are in Glens Falls, NY this week for a pair against the Adirondack Thunder and back home immediately following Christmas on December 26th and 27th to host Adirondack and the Reading Royals. Thursday, December 26th is a 7 PM face-off and is Nickelodeon Takeover Night featuring Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Specialty Jerseys.
