Former Wisconsin Badgers men's hockey forward Matthew Ford's early-season scoring binge has earned him a tryout with the AHL's Hartford WolfPack.

Ford had six goals and nine points in five games for the ECHL's Charlotte Checkers, emerging from the checking role he played in a four-year collegiate career that ended last season.

He was recently featured on NHL.com, and in the story, he talked about the change.

"It's just getting a fresh start and a change of scenery. I kind of got into a role there. I had some great coaching, but I kind of had a different role when I was playing at Wisconsin. The opportunity presented itself here and I have the chance to play a different style."

shooter says:

"He doesn't have your textbook skating stride, but he certainly skates well," Wilkinson said. "I'll tell you, what a great character kid. If he doesn't make the American League and spends another season in Charlotte, he's a captain-type kid. There's just a whole bunch to like about him."

Explains why Eaves never played him. Not a pretty skater, take the bench boys. However, scorers score.
