Andrew Clark (11)

Posted in AHL | Leave a comment

A couple of months into his rookie year as he was continuing to put up more than point-per-game numbers (14-21-35 in 31 contests) he was loaned to Bridgeport Sound Tigers.

He adjusted fairly quickly in the higher league and stayed almost until the end of the regular season, when he was released to join Stockton for their 2014 Kelly Cup Playoff push.

In the AHL he managed 7 goals and 12 assists in 35 games on a team that struggled to get wins.

For 2014/2015 he made a somewhat unexpected move signing for a year with Esbjerg Energy of Denmark’s Metal Ligaen.

His 25 goals and 50 assists for 75 points in a full schedule of 36 games were easily league bests.

Now 27-years old he easily moves up a level agreeing for 2015/2016 with Rapperswil-Jona Lakers of the tier two NLB Swiss hockey, where he’ll almost assuredly continue to be a big scoring threat.

Ryan Pulock(6) Bridgeport Sound Tigers

Posted in AHL, NHL | Leave a comment

New York Islanders‘ 1st round pick in the 2013 draft (#15 overall) rookie defenseman Ryan Pulock(6) is having himself the kind of season with minor league affiliate Bridgeport Sound Tigers that he was setting up in four years of junior hockey with Brandon Wheat Kings.

He spent his last two years as team captain scoring 23 goals in 66 WHL games and also averaged over 36 assist in each campaign.

The 6’1 220 lbs. blue liner continues his scoring streak as he has a team leading d-man goal mark of 15 on the farm club and 28 points to lead all first year players in scoring.

He was an emergency recall on one occasion but has yet to skate an NHL game.

The still super young 20-year suffered an injury during training camp that sidetracked him some but is under an entry level contract through 2016/2017, so has time to continue his already pretty speedy development and will likely compete for a roster spot out of the next training camp.

Shayne Wiebe(24) Connecticut Whale

Posted in AHL, ECHL, NHL | Leave a comment

Undrafted rookie center Shayne Wiebe(24) signed an AHL contract last season with St. John’s IceCaps after participating in Winnipeg Jets‘ training camp.

12 games and 4 assists into the 2011/2012 season and he worked out a release to pursue his education and skated the rest of the year with University of New Brunswick. He was basically a point per game player.

2012 rolls in and he’s back at the pro level in training camp with Connecticut Whale, a team he played one game with signed to an ato after his career in junior hockey was up.

The 5’10” 190 lbs. forward started the season with the team but only under a pto.

After one game he was reassigned to their ECHL affiliate Greenville Road Warriors and in 12 games has socked away 7 goals and 5 assists with a +7 plus/minus.

The performance earns the 22-year a recall and another pto with the Whale. Let’s see if the former captain of Brandon Wheat Kings can make it stick.
