Alumni in the Pros - December 2007

[amerks127]

The never forgotten Robby Schremp was named the first star of the night in the AHL with two goals, an assist, and +2 for the Springfield Falcons on Tuesday.

For those of you who look at this stuff too...the paid attendance for that game (against the Binghamton Senators) was 1602.

Schremp is having a good season though.  In 26 games he is 8+21.

O'Byrne playing for MTL tonight again.  Not getting a lot of ice time or at least I'm not seeing him or hearing his name much on the Flyers TV coverage.  But he made a nice defensive play on Joffrey Lupul in a 1 on 1 rush.

Edit:  O'B in the box (2:00 for hooking) for the Flyers first goal.  Fortunately for him, Montreal is up 4-1.


Also, in some more random alumni news Brian McCutcheon gets a mention by Marty Biron on "Coatsey's Corner" between periods.

[amerks127]

Well (I'm assuming you already know this) that's because Biron was coached by McCutcheon in Rochester from 1997-2000 and is responsible for most of his pro-development, and then continued with Biron into Buffalo up until Biron's trade to the Flyers.

Biron really shined with McCutcheon in the AHL.  He had a great season in 1998-1999 going 36-13-3 with 6 SO's and a 2.07 GAA.  He won the Aldege Bastien (AHL version of the Vezina) and was a first-team all-star.  Rochester lost to Providence in 5 games in the Calder Cup Finals.  I was at all the games in Rochester, real heart breaker.

Someone want to tell me who in the hell that is?

[LaJollaRed]

I have no idea...But according to the Internet Hockey Database, I shouldn't really feel bad about knowing who that is.

The Hockey DB is a great website. They're Cornell records are remarkably up to date.

He never played for Cornell, but he's from Syracuse and his name has surfaced a few times on this board.

Apparently, he's fond of the "lacrosse" style goals in shootouts:

Yowza. I'm surprised that I had never heard of him.

[quote LaJollaRed]The Hockey DB is a great website. They're Cornell records are remarkably up to date.[/quote]More precisely, HockeyDB has tremendously good information and tremendously poor site performance because of ads and popups.

Yes, but what I didn't know was that McCutcheon and Coatsey were apparently roommates in the pros.

For what that's worth  ::rolleyes::

Not a bad Tuesday night for Cornell alums in the AHL:

Matt Moulson had a goal and two assists in a 6-2 Manchester victory over Portland, while Iggulden had two goals and an assist in a 5-3 win for Worcester over Lowell.

Not a Cornell alumnus, but Lee Stempniak just scored his 100th NHL point against the Bruins.

This prompted Jack Edwards to say, "Well Lee must love big time winter weather, seeing as he spent four years at Dartmouth. As far as those Ivy League guys are concerned, there is only one place colder than Hanover, New Hampshire, and that's Ithaca, New York."

And, that, of course, is not true.

Average high/low temps in Ithaca:  Jan (31/10); Feb (37/16); Mar (49/27)

Average high/low temps in Hanover:  Jan (29/9); Feb (34/12); Mar (43/22)

The NHL Network is carrying an ECHL game tonight (Sat, 12/22) at 7 PM EST - Wheeling vs. Cincinnati. If you have Comcast and a sports pack, check because it might have been added in the past few weeks (Comcast owns the network) - other providers have been picking it up too, after it launched in October or so.


Of local interest, on Cincinnati, Cornell alum John Gleed. Also in the game, Nathan Marsters (RPI - Wheeling) and Dov Hyphen-hyphen (Sucks - Cincinnati).
