Murphy, 18, just completed his second season of playing for the Mustangs in the NA3HL. The native of St. Louis, Missouri, had a career season in 2013-14 as he registered 28 points in 44 games played. He also had five points in Peoria’s five playoff games.
The IceDogs own the Canadian Hockey League rights to forward Logan Brown (6-foot-4), goalie Edwin Minney (6-foot-4) and now — as most recent as Monday — defenceman Ryan Mantha (6-foot-5) after general manager Marty Williamson struck a deal with the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds.
Former UMass Lowell defenseman Greg Amlong has announced via his twitter account that he is transferring to Rochester Institute of Technology. The O’Fallon, Missouri native played his first two seasons for Norm Bazin’s River Hawks where he posted one goal and 11 assists in 43 combined games.
Jon Rogger was introduced as the second Bulls Head Coach in franchise history during a Thursday morning press conference in front of Fans, Corporate Partners and the media in The Corral at the Amarillo Civic Center.

Yet, Patrick Maroon is putting together an exceptional playoff run, which is reflective of his development this season. He’s giving new meaning to the term ‘Being a maroon’.
Maroon, 26, operates both as a 230-pound wrecking ball and as a scorer. After he produced seven 20-plus-goals seasons in the minors, he so firmly secured a role with the Ducks that the team traded away Dustin Penner in March.
Ryan currently plays for the Kitchener Rangers of the OHL and is listed as a center/left wing. MacInnis comes in ranked 20th among North American skaters according to NHL Central Scouting.
Maroon grinned. At least Doughty knew his resume: five full seasons in the American Hockey League, including separate stints with organizations that changed cities. He’s played in Texarkana, St. Louis, London, Philadelphia, Adirondack, Syracuse and Norfolk. It takes more than chirping to get Maroon rattled.
Ben Bishop of the Tampa Bay Lightning, Tuukka Rask of the Boston Bruins and Semyon Varlamov of the Colorado Avalanche are the three finalists for the 2013-14 Vezina Trophy, which is awarded “to the goalkeeper adjudged to be the best at his position,” the National Hockey League announced today.
