A little bit of everything

There seems to be a trend going on right now among a few players that are leaving this league to go to the ECHL in hopes of getting called up. I will be the first one to agree that that league gets more call ups to the AHL than the CHL or our league, however, there are a few things that these guys need to understand. Each team in the ECHL has 6 or more guys that are under AHL contracts. Some of the teams have dual affiliations and thus, more AHL contracted guys. These guys are usually the first guys called up. Can other guys get called up? Sure they can, but it isn't as likely. If you didn't get a lot of ice time in this league, don't expect it there. I believe that there are just as many talented players here they have in the ECHL and CHL. The salary cap is lower in the ECHL, so chances are you will make less money in that league than you do in the IHL. There are a few players in this league that started the year in the ECHL, only to be cut. A lot of times you hear that this is due to the numbers game. Such and such team gets more guys sent down to them than they expected, so guys get cut. This is true in many cases. I believe in some cases coaches just cut the wrong guys. It happens.

Last game we wore the white jerseys. During warm ups I realized that one player did not have the 2 patches on the front of the jersey. The first person to email me the name of that player will get a game puck signed by the player of your choice. I will let everyone know who won hopefully today while we are on the bus to Dayton.

I still don't think the people the whole incident with Flint. Read this article that was just written.

The point is that those 3 guys have no career. If they two handed someone in the face to get the job done, they would go back to their men's league and nothing would happen. Why can't anyone else understand how bad this could have gotten. If it was so bad, don't you think the league would have handed out a suspension? They had the video. I am not saying that Bogas didn't get hurt, nor do I like to see players get hurt. I actually had Bogas on my team in Motor City and he is a great guy. One I still talk to every time I see him. This league is trying to recruit top players, not lose them to other leagues. Why can't someone who is on the team fight?

I want to write more, but I have to pack to go to Dayton.
