Here’s an odd one: Chris D’Alvise(9) gets a call-up from Springfield, who was the AHL affiliate of his ECHL team, Stockton Thunder last season. But for 2010/2011, San Jose Sharks signed an affiliation deal with Stockton and D’Alvise gets the nod from Springfield, who he didn’t receive a single call-up from last year.
In his first game with the Falcons on Saturday night in Syracuse, he gets a goal and two assists. He wasn’t so lucky Sunday vs. Worcester.
Falcons‘ rookie forward Tomas Kubalik(18) scored the opening goal for the visiting team at the DCU last Sunday vs. the Sharks.
I think he’s a shoe-in for a call up to the Blue Jackets this season.
Jon Sim(16) signed a two-way contract with the Isles for 2010/2011 and has found himself assigned to Bridgeport on a couple occasions already, where he is a goal a game producer for the Sound Tigers.
I remember in 2004-2005 with the Philadelphia Phantoms, Sim played part of the late playoff series en route to a Calder Cup with what was later diagnosed as a broken arm.
Say “hello” to the future end of the Islanders‘ goaltending woes, 5th round draft pick in 2008, Kevin Poulin(38), who played 4 seasons of major junior with Victoriaville Tigres.
Sound Tigers and part-time Islanders‘ forward Jeremy Colliton(21) took a year to go play in Sweden but decided to return to the team this season.
He signed a p.t.o. last month and so far, so good.
Having the assistant captain “A” on his jersey doesn’t hurt his chances.
Here’s he’s giving me the stinky winky.
P-Bruins‘ defenseman got his first and second tallies of the season over the past weekend vs. Bridgeport and Manchester.
Boston Bruins‘ 1st pick, 8th overall in the 2007 draft, Zach Hamill(9) finally lit the lamp on November 19 (his first in 15 games) to go along with the 10 assists he’s accumulated in the young 2010/2011 season with Providence.
I wonder if he’ll eventually be traded. Seems like the B’s don’t really have room for him with the big club and I feel if he was to get a call-up on a more permanent basis than the one game he got last year (1 assist) it would have been last season.
We’ll see…
With a name like Rhett Rakshani(10) you wouldn’t expect him to be born in Huntington Beach, CA but that’s what I’ve read. He signed an entry level deal with the Islanders after finishing up his college career but will have to earn his call-up by first proving himself with their AHL affiliate, Sound Tigers. He potted one in the 4-3 OT win and is just a bit off being a point per game player.
A flurry of ECHL call ups for Bridgeport Sound Tigers lately and Wes O’Neill(8) from Kalamazoo Wings was one of them over the 11/19 weekend. He logged much ice time vs. Providence Bruins Friday night at the Dunk. Over the last couple of seasons, he’s logged some minutes for Colorado, while playing mostly in the AHL for their affiliate, Lake Erie Monsters. There’s a surprising number of guys with NHL experience playing in the E this year.
