Tim Shoup Headed to Orlando After Signing With Solar Bears

ORLANDO – Defenseman Tim Shoup '18 has signed a pro contract with the Orlando Solar Bears of the ECHL, the team announced earlier in August.

An alternate captain as a senior with the Dartmouth men's hockey team this past season, Shoup will join fellow alternate captain Corey Kalk in the Sunshine State in 2018-19 after Kalk was signed earlier this summer.

This past winter, Shoup put together his best offensive campaign, leading the Big Green's defense with his career-high 10 points (5-5-10). Shoup came into 2017-18 with four career goals, but eclipsed that figure in just 26 games over the course of the winter.

Shoup also became the 100th player in program history to appear in 100 career games on Jan. 27, scoring against Cornell. The night before — in his 99th career game — the Upper St. Claire, Pennsylvania, native scored the game-winning goal against Colgate and Hobey Baker Award finalist netminder Colton Point with 7:49 remaining in regulation to earn Dartmouth the 2-1 victory.

The Solar Bears are the ECHL affiliate of the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Shoup graduated from Dartmouth in June with a degree in Government.
