Ben Wallace, Johnstown Chiefs (ECHL)
Jeremy Downs, Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs (CHL)
Mike Rutter, Odessa Jackalopes (CHL)
Greg Hornby, Victoria Salmon Kings (ECHL)

Chris and Cam are playing for the Stockton Thunder in the ECHL. I also think Pegararo is in the ECHL somewhere.

EDIT: He scored against Toronto... apparently I can't read

Pegoraro - Hamilton Bulldogs (AHL)???

He scored a powerplay goal in their season opener (unless it's a different Daniel Pegoraro). Doesn't appear on their roster though

Cactus12
Pegoraro - Toronto Marlies (AHL)

He scored a powerplay goal in their season opener (unless it's a different Daniel Pegoraro). He hasn't appeared on their website's official roster yet though.

He's on the website roster of the ECHL's Texas Wildcatters.

Ok, I've got the facts in order now...

Daniel Pegoraro - Texas Wildcatters (ECHL)

He played for a little while with the Hamilton Bulldogs (AHL) but was released and now plays for Texas.

We seem to be forgetting the most obvious:

JOE NIEUWENDYK
Florida Panthers (NHL)

(see other thread)

Um, Joe Nieuwendyk with Florida just passed Guy LaFleur in career goals ... and long since passed him in teams played with.

Just to be clear, you're talking about North American pro leagues, right?

JOE NIEUWENDYK
Florida Panthers (NHL)

Whew - when he wasn't on the first list, I thought I'd missed a retirement announcement!

Rancor, can you edit the top post to include additions? The list is more useful that way.

Probably something like this would be useful...

That would be great. But then you need someone to update and maintain it. Volunteers? (I started one of these back in the day, but then I got out of the Cornell hockey web site business...)

I can't believe I found these...

Hockey Club de Morzine Avoriaz, France
Tony Bergin
PC Drouin

Jeff Burgoyne played for the Cardiff Devils of the British Elite League last year. I don't see him on any of the rosters for this season but I did come across our old friends Nick Boucher and Trevor Koenig.

Yeah, I took this thread as a challenge. So what.

Go study for the bar, fool.

I sure hope he's taken it already - everybody else took it in July.

Jean-Marc Pelletier (Rochester, AHL)

Kent Manderville -- MVP of his Swedish team last year; playing in Helsinki this year. Don't know the team or league affiliation, however.

Wasn't Ian Burt playing in Britain as well?

Ian Burt played one year for the Coventry Blaze, then retired, according to the Blaze web site. Scroll to the very bottom of the page. [www.coventryblaze.co.uk]
The Cornell alumni directory has him living in Michigan (and still working for the Coventry Blaze).

Do I correctly remember reading that Paolini hung up his skates?

sorry dave....

Yes.

[elf.elynah.com]

Might I suggest [wiki.collegehockeynews.com] as a reasonable place for maintaining a list of Cornellians in the pros? Whenever a move happens and is noted on eLF, some kind volunteer can go visit the Wiki and make the change.

Ian Burt and his wife, Alanna Hayes [CU women's goalie] are returning to Ithaca to live and work. She has a job in Alumni Affairs and he is finishing his graduate degree in December.

Okay, now we have to look up how many Cornell hockey couples there are. The other one I know is Kim Ratushny and Kent Manderville.

Many of you are probably aware of this link but if not may be of use to a few.

[www.hockeydb.com]

The list is good with a couple of exceptions. They don't add alumni until after their first pro season. So, for example, you won't see Ryan O'Byrne on this list. You'll see him on the list next year. Also, the list doesn't show current year statistics but if you click on the individual you'll find their year-to-date stats. I haven't been able to find anything better than this.

It's a good list. My favorite is the first on the list when I clicked the link - Mr. Empty Net. Not sure when he graduated though...

Shane Hynes (Agusta, ECHL)
David McKee (Agusta, ECHL)

Augusta.

Where is Pegoraro playing now? Hamilton relesed him from their training camp on 10/2. He was at a ECHL team's training camp before 10/10.

[www.wildcattershockey.com]

Underhill is now a high school teacher in Boston. There are a couple links to articles about the Kelly Cup Finals and how the Alaska Aces' new goalie duo have, "large pads to fill."
Unfortunately, the Anchorage Daily News is one of those login-required sites, though I was able to read them once through before being blocked.

Dan Pegoraro was released from the Texas Wildcatters (ECHL) on 10 October. It says he's eligible for waivers/waiver claims.

Don't they realize that it takes him three years with a coach to find his rhythm?

It looks like he's playing with Downs for the Mudbugs:

You might want to edit the first post again. Pegs is no longer in Hamilton. He is playing with Downs in the CHL. Thanks.

done. thanks redhair34

LeNeveu is in San Antonio (AHL). He hasn't been recalled yet this season.

Um, yes he has:

Apparently twice at the same time

LeNeveu call-up note on Coyotes web site [www.phoenixcoyotes.com]

Anyone know the status of Shane Palahickey?

how we doing here?

Cam Abbott was picked up by the Long Beach Ice Dogs (ECHL)

[www.echl.com]

Jon Gleed was sent to the Cincinnati Cyclones of the ECHL today.

FYI - Sasha Pokulok has only suited up once.. according to the local print media, he's got a concussion and is out indefinitely.

Is it OK to make a glossary entry for "Hynes curse" now?

In all seriousness, that is really bad news. Here's hoping Sasha makes a quick recovery.

Phoenix traded Sauve to Boston today so the crease is a little less crowded there now.

now 4 NHL'ers, plus the Commish.

and then there were three...

what is the maximum number of ex cornell players in the NHL? was 4 a record?

and then there were two...

so who do you think lenny's next team is?hes too good to be washed up, but there is a glut of great goalies playing in the nhl right now.

Speaking of Jason Elliott in the other thread, he is playing in the German bundesliga for Bietigheim-Bissingen SC (the "Steelers"

I assumed this was about Lenny but The Rancor implies that it wasn't. Who else was sent down?

David McKee.

Unfortunately, this is the 2. Bundesliga, so he won't be playing in Berlin for now.

JMP goes to Germany.

The Rancor
JMP goes to Germany.

Where in Germanay? Will JMP be playing near JTW?

Sorry, the initial thing kind of caught my attention.

Alder Manheim, in the city of Manheim I guess...
btw, Rita, the list is updated regularly to show movements, additions and deletions of alumni hockey players from various pro leagues. i give it a bump every so often to keep it in the top 3 pages.

...which, I'll say again, I don't think is really the way to go. It ought to be its own static page, whether on eLynah or elsewhere (such as the Hockey Wiki page I suggested). Partly because sooner or later, the thread is going to become so long as to be useless; partly because you're going to constantly be explaining to people that when you give a tiny little news fragment like you did this afternoon, they have to go to the first post in the thread to find the rest of the information; partly just because it'll look better; partly because some of the posts made here will inevitably and unavoidably duplicate information that should be in each month's "Alumni in the Pros" thread.

The trick, I guess, would be whether Age can give you the ability to edit one individual eLynah page and not all the others - or whether you're willing to find a better place for it. I just don't think this is it.

The Rancor

Who play in the DEL. Unfortunately, they've already come to Berlin once, and the other one is in January while I'm still in the States.

Sorry about that, I just usually click on the "last post" link (especially if it is a long thread) and start at the bottom. I will be more diligent about checking the first post for updates.

Thank you for keeping it up to date.

So stop being so lazy and get on a train to Manheim. Jeez John, it's like pulling teeth to get you to travel for a hockey game.

Good idea - making the current pros list a standing page rather than a forum thread but one that can be edited by other than the sysop, or at least by a couple others.
