Comrie is headed back to the OHL's Saginaw Spirit. The 18-year-old defenseman has played one full season to date in the Ontario Hockey League, putting up 28 points in 58 games. Saginaw, 1-1, is off until Friday night when they head to Sarnia to play the Sting.
A.J. Jenks returns to the Plymouth Whalers, two years removed from the J. Ross Robertson Cup, given to the Ontario Hockey League champion. Jenks' role and production increased significantly the following season, leading to his selection in this summer's entry draft. While the Whalers made the playoffs last season, they were swept in the first round by Peter DeBoer, Mike Duco and the Kitchener Rangers. Like Comrie, Jenks and his team are out of action until Friday night.
Robak is the only player of the four not playing in the OHL. I pulled this from the Wheat Kings' website as their top story:
"Fresh off a successful season opening weekend homeBrandon takes on Moose Jaw Friday night.
and home series sweep of the Regina Pats, the Brandon Wheat Kings have received
some welcome news from the Florida Panthers. The National Hockey League club has announced that 18-year old defenceman Colby Robak has been reassigned to the Wheat Kings. . . In 71 games with the Wheat Kings last season, Robak had six goals, 30 points and 25 minutes in penalties. . . The Wheat Kings expect the 6'3“ 200 lb. Gilbert Plains product back in Brandon Monday night."
Corey Syvret is back with the 1-0 Guelph Storm for his fourth season in the OHL. Syvret, like Comrie and Robak, is a defenseman. The Cats acquired the pick which was used to select Syvret in a trade with Anaheim for Ric Jackman in January of 2007.
Again, Friday night.
Tomorrow night is the first game of the pre-season for the Florida Panthers. The game begins at 9:00 PM here on the east coast as the Panthers take on the Calgary Flames. I'm not too hopeful that there will be a local radio broadcast, but the game will be live on Calgary's Fan 960.
