AJAX — His college hockey career ended, Ajax’s Tyler McGregor has made the jump to the pro ranks. The Holy Cross University (Worces- ter, Mass.) Crusaders’ graduating senior forward has joined the Cleveland Barons of the American Hockey League. The Barons are the affiliate of the San Jose Sharks. McGregor has played in the Barons’ last two games. Cleveland hosts the Grand Rapids Griffins today (Wednes- day), and has six games left in the regular season. Last week, McGregor was Tyler McGregor named to the Inside College Hockey All-America third team and Atlantic Hockey Association player of the year.
