LOCAL CALLED UP TO HERD

The Halifax Mooseheads have recalled St. Stephen native 16-year-old defenceman Jamie Bishop for a three-game road trip to Quebec.

The Mooseheads are shorthanded on the blue line after injuries to rookies Konrad Abeltshauser (broken wrist) and Steve Gillard (hip flexor). Bishop was selected 19th overall in June's QMJHL draft but was unable to make the team out of training camp.

The 6-foot, 170-pounder played three games with the Saint John Vitos major midget club. He had no points and 12 penalty minutes.
