Three Returned To Toledo Last Week

November 30th, 2009 by Leigh Michael Dengis

There was some movement over the long Thanksgiving break a couple players were reassigned to Toledo (ECHL) from Rockford (AHL). In the last week defensemen Jonathan Carlsson and J.C. Sawyer along with goaltender Alec Richards were returned to the Walleye.

Richards stole a few starts from Corey Crawford in his time with the IceHogs. In two games in the AHL, Richards was 1-1-0 with a goals-against average of 2.54.

In related news, the IceHogs signed veteran goaltender Dan Cloutier to a professional try-out agreement. I don’t know much of what happens in Rockford, but Crawford can’t get a start.

Minor League Housekeeping

November 18th, 2009 by Leigh Michael Dengis

With the recent new of what is reported as a sure thing, the signing of the big three to contract extensions, I missed the news that the Rockford IceHogs recalled three players from the Blackhawks’ ECHL affiliate, the Toledo Walleye. Goaltender Alec Richards, defenseman J.C. Sawyer and non-roster forward Maxime Tanguay made the trip.

Richards and Sawyer are worthy of the call-up due to their performances in the ECHL. Richards’ boasts a 4-1-2 record as a Walleye this season, and a 2.75 goals against average. Sawyer was second on the team in total points with sixteen (five goals, eleven assists) in twelve games.
