Re: SNC 2011-12 Regular Season Thread
One thing I've noticed about the echl is that they really do try to give the newcomers a chance to play. They seem to discourage the 36 year old career AA pro hockey players. In fact, in most of the echl games I've seen both teams had only 15 skaters and two goal tenders dressed..

Was able to watch Nick play this past weekend. While not getting a TON of ice time, he is dressing and playing in nearly every game. The times he was on the ice, he seemed to be playing well. Was in position and did not seem to let the speed and size of other players (most former D-I players) be a large factor. Bottom line, he looked like he belonged.
