Taro Hirose

F / 5’10” / 161 lbs / Calgary, Alberta, Canada / Michigan State Spartans (NCAA)

Hirose scored a pair of goals in the first camp scrimmage. He followed up the next day with what could be the goal of the scrimmages.

In the final scrimmage, he scored the opening goal for Team Sittler in the first period.

Hirose will most likely head back to the NCAA to play hockey next season, assuming that he doesn’t receive a contract to play before the season gets going.

Next: Marlies sign Michael Paliotta to an AHL contract
