AHL collegians update

[jen]

Another year, another thread. :)

Check the Traverse City thread for guys that have been sent down to the AHL - I'll post them in here from now on, though.

The AHL opened its preseason schedule last weekend with Albany vs. Philadelphia - Patrick Sharp (UVM) had 2 goals for the Phantoms and Scott Clemmensen (BC) got the win, 5-4, for the Rats. Ben Stafford (Yale) also had a goal for Philly - couldn't find any more info on this game.

Dave Huntzicker (Mich) assigned to St. John AHL.

Jay Vancik's been sent to Hamilton (Oilers) in the AHL.

Niko Dimitrakos (Maine) and Willie Levesque (Northeastern) have been sent to Cleveland by the Sharks.

[Ralph Baer]

RPI's Matt Murley and Andrew McPherson have both been sent to Wilkes Barre-Scranton by Pittsburgh.

[Ralph Baer]

Also LA has sent Eric Healey (RPI '98) and Jim Henkel (RPI '02) to Manchester.

Jason Crain (OSU '02) also caught that trip to Mancheter.

Hugo Boisvert, back to Grand Rapids.

Mike Lephart crossed the parking lot in Philadelphia.

Doug Janik (Maine) to Rochester.

Will Magnuson (LSSU) to Hershey.

Dane Jackson (UND) to Manchester.

David Harlock (Mich), Jack Baker (BU) sent to Philly AHL.

Jay Leach (PC), Josh Blackburn (Mich) sent to Springfield.

Robert Mulick (NU), Gregg Naumenko (UAA) sent to Cleveland.

[RichS]

Ottawa sent Matt Poapst (Clarkson) to their new AHL team in Binghamton.

[jen]

Erik Anderson (SLU), Bryan Lundbohm (UND), Darren Haydar (UNH), Andrew Hutchinson (MSU) assigned to Milwaukee. None too surprising.

Matt Doman (UW) and Rick Mrozik (UMD) sent to St. John.

[jen]

The following players are scheduled to be in training camp in Milwaukee, in addition to those previously mentioned (they're fill-ins until Milwaukee gets a full roster from Nashville... most already have contracts in a lower league):

Tom Rouleau (UML)
Steve Cygan (UAA)
Nick Angell (Minn)
Doug Teskey (UAA)

I can think of one player offhand that was in this situation a few years ago and ended up not only making the team, but also ended up with an NHL contract (and has since been traded, but still has an NHL contract). So it's not completely out of the question. Except for Doug Teskey, because Milwaukee already has their goalies set. :)

[jen]

Manitoba signed Alfie Michaud (Maine) to a camp tryout contract (Vancouver did not re-sign him).

[jen]

Greg Koehler (UML) and Wyatt Smith (Minn) assigned to Milwaukee. Adam Hall (MSU) is still up with Nashville.

Barrett Heisten and Jim Montgomery (Maine) assigned to Utah.

Rustyn Dolyny (MSU), Dustin Whitecotton (Miami), Andrew Allen (UVM) all signed with Grand Rapids.

Brad Tapper (RPI), Ben Simon (ND), Mark Hartigan (SCSU) and Joe DiPenta (BU) assigned to Chicago AHL.

Craig Murray (Mich) is in camp with Hamilton, in addition to the guys sent by the Oilers.

[jen]

Andy Hilbert (Mich) sent to Providence.

Tim Skarperud (UND), Bryan Adams (MSU) sent to Grand Rapids.

[redrocker]

Yale alums: Ben Stafford is with Philadelphia and I believe Jeff Hamilton will be with Bridgeport.

[jen]

Mike Watt (MSU), Ryan Murphy (BGSU) sent to Lowell.

Alex Brooks (UW), Scott Clemmensen (BC), Ray Giroux (Yale), Mike Matteucci (LSSU), Craig Darby (PC), Chris Hartsburg (CC) sent to Albany - not sure if these were posted, Clemmensen was actually in Albany last weekend, but they showed up today on USA Today.

[jen]

Dan Cavanaugh (BU), Dieter Kochan (NMU), Tony Tuzzolino (MSU) assigned to Houston.

Jeff Farkas (BC) assigned to Manitoba.

[Ralph Baer]

Also Marc Cavosie (RPI) was assigned to Houston.

[jen]

That is why I don't like USA Today. They were all sent the same day, but for some reason, they don't list Cavosie.

Steve Moore (Harvard) sent to Hershey (he's also injured - hip).
