Alumni in the Pros 2021-2022

Little surprised MacDonald couldn't crack the lineup, given how much work the Avs put into hiding Jack Johnson. He only had 8:25 of ice time in game six! That's close to half as much as the next lowest.

But hey, if it ain't broke...

Makes me extra sad because Nico Sturm has been in the lineup for the Avs

Meanwhile, Toews becomes the first Q player to have his name on the Cup. Pecknold was gloating about it in an article in the New Haven Register. Too bad Riley Nash couldn't have gotten his name on it for Tampa. That would have been quite a story with his playing on three different NHL teams this year along with a stint in the AHL. His fourth line played pretty well in the series, with lots of offensive zone time, but they were on the ice for game-winning goal in Game 6.

Surprised not to see it posted yet, but Jacob MacDonald skated with the Cup on Sunday.

He doesnt meet the criteria to have his name etched on the cup and id be surprised if the Ava petition for his name to be etched but I hope they do. He's been a great member of the org

They'd probably have to submit a long list for him to be on it.  He ranked 32nd in number of games played this year (8 games) and they only used 23 players in the playoffs, so there'd be a lot of others ahead of him.  But it would be great to see his name on it.

I wonder if this means she wont have to report to the Rangers prospect camp..?

[underskill]

Any word on galajda? I'm surprised he didn't sign an echl or ahl contract after the season.

Cam Abbott continues to develop NHL talent as coach of Rogle in Sweden.  Marco Kasper of Rogle was selected by Detroit as the 8th player picked in the first round of the NHL draft.  This season's Calder Trophy winner was another Red Wing and former Rogle player, Moritz Seider.   Chris Abbott is Rogle's GM.

Do Justin Krueger and Matt Moulson's retirements leave Riley Nash as the last active pro hockey player who won an ECAC Championship with Cornell?

Sean Collins played last season in Europe?  I haven't seen whether he's returning or retired.  2009-10 Cornell hockey register

Denis Ladouceur, a Canadian and former COO at a Wall Street firm and transplanted New Yorker, felt as if the city was missing one main meeting place: a sports bar devoted to hockey fans. In December 2021, he opened The Canuck on Ninth Avenue in Chelsea to appeal to the legion of hockey fans in the New York area that follows the New York Rangers, New York Islanders and New Jersey Devils as well as fellow Canadians who are fans of the Montreal Canadians or Toronto Maple Leaf's.

Nice. You would think that they would mention that he was a former professional player.

We could have used that bar circa 2000 when you needed to find a bar for a college hockey or tournament viewing event and only they had access to some oddball satellite network. So much better now with streaming and currently with streaming that has decent video quality, no dropouts and the camera guy actually tracks the puck.
