[7] He was called up to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on February 8, 2009 and made his AHL debut that night against the Norfolk Admirals. [8] [9] He was quickly returned to Wheeling and spent most of the rest of the season there. [7] [10] Ewing led Wheeling in goals, points, power play goals, and short handed goals, and tied for the team lead in assists. [11] He finished the season second in the ECHL in scoring with 91 points, the most by a Wheeling player since 1996-97. [12] [13] Ewing was named as a reserve to the ECHL American Conference All-Star Team, and had a goal and two assists in that game.
