Northern Michigan Alumni

Oystrick is actually playing in the KHL for HC Lev Praha
Yep, I update the first post of the thread with the accurate information, and then just posted each year's final roster to archive it. If it's confusing having the archive post, I'll delete it.

The original thread had seven years of archived rosters until USCHO deleted the thread.
 
Re: Northern Michigan Alumni

Just a bump with some minor updates. Ray Kaunisto to the ECHL and Tyler Gron to the CHL.

Old in formation that I'm just getting around to updating.
 
Re: Northern Michigan Alumni

I'll wait till the dust settles, but expect lots of movement involving NMU guys.
 
Re: Northern Michigan Alumni

It will be interesting to see who plays in the NHL this season. Both Olver and Florek are having down years in the AHL and Santorelli sat out most of last season as a healthy scratch.

Re: Northern Michigan Alumni

And that was quick. Erik Spady has been released from the Grand Rapids Griffins.
 
Re: Northern Michigan Alumni

Erik Gustafsson has been called back up. In his first game this season he had an assist on a 7-0 romping by the flyers.
 
Re: Northern Michigan Alumni

I'll updaate the list when I get time this weekend. It should be fairly accurate other than the NHL callups.
 
Re: Northern Michigan Alumni

Santorelli has been claimed off waivers and will no longer be a 'Cat (FLA Panthers). He was claimed by the Winnipeg Jets.

I'm hoping he uses the time left in the season to get a contract extension.

Also, the Coreau to the Red Wings signing was made official.
 
Huge update to the 2013-2014 season of "Where are they now?"

Delete Shyiak from Alaska Anchorage. He's now a scout for the Toronto Maple Leafs. Add Doug Garrow as Head Coach at Marquette HS.Scott Beattie is in his 2nd year as Head Coach of EHC Olten in the Swiss a League and Don Waddell was scouting for the Pittsburgh Penguins when I spoke with him in March in Detroit.
