Alumni in the Pros: October 2011

It looks like Colin Greening has a blog on the Senator's web site.

Here is an earlier post.

The announcers commented that while Murray was known for his tough defensive play, he was not known as fighter -- which was a surprising (and apparently uninformed) comment.

Chico Resch also amusingly stumbled between declaring Douglas "a Long Island boy", and "of Scottish descent".

Impossible not to root for this guy.

The announcers for the Colorado Avalanche are going to have to watch their 3's, 5's and OB's this season.

Ryan O'Byrne #3 is playing defense tonight along with teammate Shane O'Brien #5. They play the same side and on the Avs jerseys, 3's look a bit like 5's and they are both similar in size.

There is also a Ryan O'Reilly on the roster, but he's a forward and has 2 numbers on his jersey. I don't envy the Colorado announcers this season.

Colin Greening scored a nice goal last night, picking up the puck in the slot and fighting off a hook to rip a wrist shot past Florida's goalie and tie the game at 3. Ottawa went on to win 4-3.

Do we have any alumni in the British Elite League? I know that Jon Gleed '06 was with Belfast last year, but I can't seem to find out what became of him.

Going through the rosters, the only familiar name I see is "Andrew Dickson," playing for Belfast.  But he's 17 years younger than the Colgate forward, and a goalie.

Common name, maybe, but... weirdly, the Colgate player did play in the English league 12 years ago.  Still, it does not appear to be a relation.

Let's hope he marries someone named, say, Ann White. And they send their first-born son to play hockey at Cornell.

Yes.  "Ezra White-Dickson" has a nice ring to it...

Actually, Colin's goal with 2:07 left put Ottawa up 3-2. The Panthers scored 47 seconds later to tie it, and then with less than 5 sec left, Michalek scores the game winner for the Sens.
