Brad Robson is back with the Lethbridge Hurricanes. Robson, who resigned June 19, has returned to the WHL team, this time as assistant general manager and director of player personnel. He was director of scouting and player personnel when he resigned after two seasons with the team. Robson had applied for the general manager’s job following the firing of Roy Stasiuk. . . .

The Calgary Hitmen have claimed F Cody Gross, 20, off waivers from the Red Deer Rebels. Gross also has played for the Prince Albert Raiders and Regina Pats. He is going into his fourth full WHL season. Last season, he had 20 points and 26 penalty minutes in 63 games. . . . The Hitmen acquired D Ryan Kerr, 20, from the Portland Winterhawks last week. F Jason MacDonald, 20, also is on Calgary’s roster, while it would seem that F Joel Broda and F Bostjan Golicic would be longshots to return. . . . The departure of Gross leaves the Rebels with four 20-year-olds on its roster – F Jordie Deagle, F Cody Esposito, F Nathan Green and D Cullen Morin.

The Hartford Wolf Pack, the New York Rangers’ AHL affiliate, has signed D Trevor Glass, who played out his WHL eligibility last season with the Spokane Chiefs.

He also was part of the Tigers’ WHL championship club the previous season. With the Tigers, he often played on defence with Michael Sauer, who also is with the Wolf Pack. . . .
