Random Tidbits

Sean Ringrose
Last Friday the Alberta Golden Bears played the Oilers rookies. Former Tiger Sean Ringrose scored the game winner with a few minutes remaining as the Golden Bears beat the Oil rookies 4-3

Tyler Ennis
I've been reading the comments flowing through HF boards about Buffalo's training camp and numerous fans have been absolutely impressed with the play of Tyler Ennis. He is centering one of their camps top lines. Here is a quote from one of the fans.

"Ennis makes something happen every time he touches the puck. He doesn't lose it."
If your interested in following some non-official comments about him from various fans check out this thread He is mentioned every now and again.

There is also an interview up about Ennis on Buffalo's website from last Wednesday

I found a preliminary roster for New York's exhibition game tomorrow vs the Devils. Kundratek is not on the list.

Linden Vey
All i found on him is that he wont be in the lineup when the Kings take on Phoenix in their first exhibition game, but may play in a secondary game at the staples center in L.A. A fan mentioned he is keeping his game simple in training camp and it looks like he has a bundle of energy but a little unsure of what to do with it all.

---------------------
Edit: A preliminary 2009-2010 roster is up at
http://www.whl.ca/stats/roster.php?step=&sub=&season_id=&team_id=206
they might be missing a 16 yr old on that list.

The roster I got at the exhibition game said Tanner Sohn was a '90 birthdate. However that is incorrect as the roster up at whl.ca lists his birth date as an '91.

It appears as if Ryan Holfeld has made the cut, barring future trades. As Kyle Birch has reportedly been cut.

For 20 yr olds
That leaves Mark Isherwood, I would think is a lock.
So Bretton Cameron, and Colton Grant fighting for that last 20yr old spot providing Ennis and Kundratek dont return.

-------------------------------------
Matt Keetley played in the flames first exhibition game vs the oilers. The Oilers won that game 4-1. Matt Keetley was in net for 19:24 seconds, and he let in 2 goals on 18 shots.

Linden Vey was not dressed in either of L.A's 2 exhibition games. Kundratek was not dressed in the N.Y rangers game

Not sure why some people (including the media) were surprised that Birch was released and Holfeld is still around. Plans get changed, Holfeld played well and Birch was poor. Willie would have been crazy to ditch Ryan.
