AUSTIN MAGERA SIGNS AHL CONTRACT WITH HERSHEY BEARS

NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. – The South Carolina Stingrays, proud ECHL affiliate of the NHL’s Washington Capitals and AHL’s Hershey Bears, are pleased to announce that forward Austin Magera has signed an AHL contract with the Hershey Bears.

Magera, 25, spent the 2023-24 campaign in South Carolina and was named the 2023-24 recipient of the John A. Daley Memorial Trophy as the ECHL Rookie of the Year.  

Magera led the Stingrays last season in goals (29), points (74), and +/- (+21) and finished second on the team in assists (45), power-play goals (7), and games played (70).

“I couldn’t have asked for a better group for my first full season of professional hockey. We were a really tight-knit team, and everybody came to the rink with a smile on their face,” Magera said.

Magera played 18 games for the Stingrays in the 2022-23 season and tallied 14 points (eight goals, six assists).

Before joining the Stingrays in March 2023, Magera spent five seasons with the Sacred Heart University Pioneers and collected 116 points over 154 games. In 2022-23, Magera appeared in 37 games for the Pioneers and posted a career-best in points (28) and plus-minus (6).
