With his performance last season (albeit against AHA level competition), I'm surprised that most teams told him the best he could do is start for their ECHL team. I figured he'd at least have a shot at an AHL roster somewhere. I'm almost as surprised that he and his agent picked the Caps. If there's a team loaded with young goalies, it's them. His odds of sticking with Hershey don't look great. But you never know. After how much improved he's gotten over the last couple years, he certainly could step up his game even more and push for some playing time with a great camp. It'll be fun to watch.
Amerks note: the schedule format was released this week and they have 4 games against Hershey, which likely means they will be coming to town twice this season as opposed to the one time they've come in every season since Pinnizotto signed there. Unfortunately, the Amerks only play host to one Atlantic division team, and it's not the Wolfpack (it is Worcester). So unless they make the Calder Cup Finals and play Hartford, we won't be able to see Ringwald come to town this year (barring a trade). I don't know the other area teams' schedule formats, but the way that league operates, the Atlantic teams have found a way to convince the league not to make them travel anywhere. I would guess the Wolfpack aren't likely to come as far west as Cleveland, Rochester, Toronto, or Hamilton. Since Syracuse, Albany, and Adirondack (Glens Falls) are in the same conference as the Atlantic teams, the odds of the Wolfpack coming into those cities is much better. I'm guessing Albany and Adirondack to be the best bets if anyone wants to make a road trip.
Also... I don't know if this had already been mentioned on here, but our old friend Carl Hudson has officially signed with the Florida Panthers. I guess it was touch and go there for a while. The people in the Panther organization that liked him the most were fired before he was re-signed. But the new regime was convinced to give him a shot. It seems likely he'll stick around in Rochester since they have a real lack of defensemen who can play physical, which is what he brought to the table in his tryout last season.

), and have a corner crew east and west. having 180* of heckling and cheering and taunting. then the different sides could get into cheering contests and things, making it that much louder and more exciting.
