Maass, 24, signed an amateur tryout contract with Hershey last April where he appeared in one game with the Bears. On May 26th, 2022, Maass signed an AHL contract with the Bears and began his rookie season in South Carolina. The first-year pro has appeared in 45 games for the Stingrays this season, recording nine points on four goals and five assists.
