Lehigh Valley Set For Weekend Series at St. John’s
January 6, 2015
Lehigh Valley, PA – The Philadelphia Flyers, parent club of the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, have returned on loan defenseman Robert Hagg from Sweden to the Phantoms.
A 19-year-old blueliner from Uppsala, Sweden, Hagg was reassigned by Philadelphia to Sweden on December 22nd for the IIHF World Junior Championships in Toronto. In seven games with his native country, the 6’2″, 203-pound defender amassed two assists, two penalty minutes and 15 shots on goal. Sweden was handed a 4-2 setback to Slovakia in the Bronze Medal Game yesterday.
A second-round selection (41st overall) by the Flyers in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft, Hagg has recorded two goals, 11 assists, 13 points and 28 penalty minutes in 28 games with the Phantoms this season. All told, he’s produced three goals, 14 assists, 17 points and 38 penalty minutes in 38 total AHL games between Adirondack and Lehigh Valley.
Following a weekend sweep of the Norfolk Admirals, Lehigh Valley returns to action this weekend when the Phantoms head up to St. John’s for Saturday and Sunday showdowns with the IceCaps.
