(above) Brock Trotter earlier this year with the AHL Hamilton BulldogsWestern College Hockey Blog mentioned that Brock Trotter was among six players called up to the Montreal Canadiens after Hamilton was eliminated from the AHL playoffs. The Canadiens haven't issued Trotter a number as of this morning but he is listed on the official playoff Roster.
Before joining the Hamilton Bulldogs on February 7, Trotter played 24 games with DU in his third season with the NCAA team, he was leading the Pioneers with 31 points in 24 games (13 goals, 18 assists), posting a plus-12 rating and 65 shots on goal. The 20-year-old centerman compiled nine points (3 goals, 6 assists), a plus-2 rating and four penalty minutes in 21 games with Hamilton this season.
Montreal leads their first round playoff series with Boston 3 games to 2.

This is a typical roster move made by NHL teams when their affiliate is eliminated from the Calder Cup playoffs. They usually call up around 4-7 players as healthy scratches for the rest of the playoffs in the event of an injury. Most likely, Brock won't see any time, but it would be nice to see a DU guy get a shot in the playoffs.
Agreed. I heard the Anaheim call ups last year didn't even practice with the team.
Nonetheless, its a nice reward for Trotter who has had a "eventful" year to say the least.
Just getting the call is exciting ... good luck Brock!
