Undrafted 5th year Idaho-born defenseman Cody Lampl(32) pulls a go figure move to begin the 2013/2014 season.
Under contract for another campaign with Toledo Walleye of the ECHL after a successful run, reaching a career high 6 goals and tying his point total of 15, he looked to build on the success and was invited to join St. John’s IceCaps‘ training camp.
One thing leads to another and by early October he finds himself on the an AHL roster.
In 8 games, the 5’11” 183 lbs. blue liner has yet to hit the score sheet with a -2 rating but definitely doesn’t look a bit out of place.
He has 214 ECHL games, first for a pair of seasons with hometown team Idaho Steelheads and then he moved slightly more east for a year with Utah Grizzlies.
To his credit he’s scored 8 goals and 49 assists with a +9 plus/minus.
The 27-year old played four years at Colorado College after three seasons in the USHL en route to turning pro.
However this story ends up it’s already a good one.
