The Corpus Christi IceRays of the North American Hockey League (NAHL) have acquired forward Brady Crabtree from the Amarillo Bulls in exchange for a 2016 2nd Round Pick. The deal is the second involving the IceRays this week prior to Saturday’s NAHL trade deadline.
The Canadian Hockey League today announced that St. Louis Blues prospect Luke Opilka of the Kitchener Rangers is the Vaughn CHL Goaltender of the Week for the week ending January 31 after posting a 2-0-0-0 record including a shutout victory with a goals-against-average of 0.50 and save percentage of .979.
Mayfield was sent down just before the All-Star break, and the move was likely made just to get some extra ice time. He’ll now rejoin the parent club, but will be a borderline lineup memeber on a nightly basis, limiting any potential fantasy upside.
Luke Opilka made 20 saves and earned his second Ontario Hockey League shutout as the Kitchener Rangers defeated the visiting Windsor Spitfires 2-0 in front of 7,232 fans during Don Cameron Potato Night at the Kitchener Memorial Auditorium Complex on Friday.
Cam Janssen has revealed his hopes to stay with Nottingham Panthers next season – and possibly beyond.
The streak started with a goal against Sarnia in early November.
It ended Friday at the Aud in Kitchener’s 2-0 victory over the visiting Windsor Spitfires.
A new face on the Canadian Hockey League scene this season, London Knights forward and top rated North American prospect Matthew Tkachuk has come along and turned heads across the country with his intriguing blend of size, skill, patience and a knack for precision passing.
The Sioux City Musketeers traded a sixth-raound Phase II draft pick and future considerations to Dubuque for forward Trey Dodd.
Cam Janssen has the air of someone who believes he has made far more of his career then he ever thought possible.
The younger Tkachuk, at 6-foot-1 and 195 pounds, also has a pretty good idea what it’s going to take to reach the next stage of his playing career.
