Weird here in alabama an AHLer playing with me eh?

I called the one and only rink to see if I could jump on a team. So tonight I played with Bash (birmingham adult select hockey) and I wish I didn't. First off most of the guys are University of Alabama huntsville players or Ex ECHLers and Greg Flynn. He was an air force grad and played college hockey and I asked him what the deal with the lowell devils helmet and he said hes under contract with them. I calmly asked him a couple of questions like; " what the hell are you doing in alabama if you're under contract with NJ?" He said " well I had training for the air force down in montgomery and after I finish that I will be back on my way to lowell."

I thought the kid was giving me crap but I looked him up and sure enough he was an air force player, and sure enough he played in lowell during the pre season. http://theahl.com/stats/player.php?id=3359

It does say it was an ATO (amatuer try out) and it did say he was realeased from ATO. So I dont know if hes on his way back or not.

Hes one hell of a player though.

Figured I would share.
