Canucks Score: Josh Bloom Returns to AHL After Dominant ECHL Performance
After a remarkable stretch of play that earned him the ECHL Player of the Month award, Vancouver Canucks prospect Josh Bloom is heading back to the American Hockey League (AHL). Bloom’s performance with the Kalamazoo Wings, the Canucks’ ECHL affiliate, has been nothing short of spectacular.
In just 19 games with Kalamazoo, Bloom has amassed an impressive 15 goals and 13 assists. His standout performance included a thrilling 6-5 victory against the Cincinnati Cyclones on March 1st, where he single-handedly scored four goals. This showcases his offensive prowess and ability to impact the game significantly.
A Season of Development
Bloom has divided his time between the ECHL and AHL this season, starting with the Abbotsford Canucks before joining Kalamazoo. His recent AHL stint came in January, where he participated in five games. However, it’s his recent run in the ECHL that has truly highlighted his development.
Over his last 15 matches with Kalamazoo, Bloom has consistently produced, recording seven multi-point games. Five of those games saw him register three or more points, demonstrating his ability to be a consistent offensive threat. He’s on track to surpass his previous ECHL career-high of 20 goals and 19 assists, a testament to his growth as a player.
Impact on the Abbotsford Canucks
The timing of Bloom’s return to the AHL is particularly beneficial for the Abbotsford Canucks. The team has been facing a shortage of forwards recently, and Bloom’s addition will provide a much-needed boost to their lineup. His offensive skills and recent confidence will be valuable assets as they continue their current six-game home stand.
Abbotsford will face the Manitoba Moose on March 10th at 7:00 pm PT in their third match of the home stand. Fans are eager to see Bloom in action and witness his impact on the team.
