- Vic Bartley has been called up to Bridgeport. [UtahGrizzlies.com
- Tony Romano joins the Grizzlies from Bridgeport. [UtahGrizzlies.com]
- Evan Stoflet has been traded to Bakersfield. [UtahGrizzlies.com]
- Jason Dale has been reassigned to Bakersfield by Bridgeport. [UtahGrizzlies.com]
- Dylan Hunter goes to the AHL's Rochester Americans. [UtahGrizzlies.com]
Basically, we lose 4 (Bartley, Stoflet, Dale, Hunter), and gain one (Romano).
Romano joins the Grizzlies from the Bridgeport Sound Tigers where he played 21 games this season. During the 2008-2009 season, Romano picked up 69 points (36 goals, 33 assists) in 65 games for the Petesborough Petes of the OHL. Not bad at all.
We're going to miss Bartley and Stoflet, who have been pretty stellar on defense for us over the past several games. Hunter's callup is really no surprise as he played in the AHL during 2006-2008, but we'll still miss the firepower.
Jason Dale is probably the one we'll miss the most here at GrizzBlog. We were just starting to cultivate an appreciation for his drive and constant effort on the ice. He really gave the game his all every shift, and we loved to watch him play. We hope this reassignment ends up being a good thing. Luck, Jason!
Fortunately (or unfortunately), we may be seeing both Evan and Jason in the Grizzlies' games this weekend against the Condors.
Luck to all!
Go Grizzlies!
