In this issue of 'By The Numbers', we take a look at the season forward Ryan Howse had with the Abbotsford Heat.

View from Pinder's Perch:

What a roller coaster season it was for rookie Ryan Howse. The 20-year-old showed up in camp coming off a 50+ goal campaign down the highway with the Chilliwack Bruins (WHL), but it would take over a half season for him to find the net in the AHL.

Howse came into camp with conditioning issues, and was eventually taken away from the team to focus on his conditioning with strength coach Mike Thompson for the bulk of November. Howse then suffered a shoulder injury early in 2012 before finally getting into a rhythm that saw him record 9 points (and a game-winning shootout goal) in a productive February and March. Chalk it up to experience – Howse will be much more prepared to succeed in 2012-13.
