Rookies Hit the Ice

Rookie camps are underway, and a couple of tournaments are producing some scraps.

We’re covering the Traverse City Rookie Tournament again this season.  Here’s the current fight log for those who are interested.  Some games are being televised (on delay) by the NHL Network.

Luke Gazdic and Anthony Peluso dropped the gloves early in the first period of Saturday’s Stars-Blues game and it’s the first fight footage we’ve been able to post.

The Camrose Tournament, just three games between the Flames, Oilers and Canucks, saw its first fight between Theo Peckham and JD Watt early on.  The games aren’t being televised, but are available via online streaming.

Sugden to attend Isles camp

Just in case you missed it over the weekend, Brandon Sugden was told by NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly that the teams that blocked his removal from the retirement list have agreed to reverse their decisions.
