This Date in Bears History

This morning I again acknowledge a feat of the Bears of yesteryear.

January 30, 1982:  The Bears held the visiting Erie Blades without a shot on goal in the third period at Hersheypark Arena, the sole time in Hershey franchise history that the team did not allow its opponent a single shot in an entire period of AHL hockey. 

This year's club came dangerously close to holding Toronto shotless through the opening 20 minutes when the Marlies came to Chocolatetown on Dec. 20.  The Bears allowed but a single shot on net through the first period, though it was not registered until nearly the 18-minute mark.
