Players sent down

The Coyotes have sent down 13 players so far this week.

  1. Randall Gelech
  2. Jakub Koreis
  3. Bryan Helmer
  4. Logan Stephenson
  5. Don MacLean
  6. Joe Callahan
  7. Yanick Lehoux
  8. Olivier Latendresse
  9. Daneil Winnik
  10. Pascal Rheaume
  11. Philippe Sauve
  12. Josh Tordjman
  13. Jeff Taffe

We look good for right now. That can all change when the Rampage start there season. There is one that is in camp that is not listed that I know about. His name is Ryan Flinn.

Practice and Exhibition Game


Practice was a good one. The guys practiced hard, harder than what I saw with the Rampage last season which is sad.


There you can see Owen Nolan watching what is going on, waiting for his turn. He even played later that day in a preseason game against Dallas. Most of the guys that were there practicing will most likely be here with the Rampage this season. The Coyotes lost that game in Dallas.



Now let's get to the exhibition game. It was basically a scrimmage. The Rampage won the scrimmage. On the Rampage team we had

Shane Doan
Jeremy Roenick
Georges Laraque

So I guess you can say we had the advantage. We were losing 3-0 when then they put in LeNeveu. He gave up all of the goals we scored on him. Kind of sad to know that he does that a lot. In the picture you have Roenick being checked by Matthew Spiller. Matthew was on our team last season.

First Coyotes practice


The man himself Wayne Gretzky was there. It was cool to see him at work. The guys worked hard today, which is always good. Wayne did sign some autographs for season ticket holders. I had two cards signed by him. That is always awesome to have.

In an interview, he said that he is happy that the Coyotes are affiliated with the Spurs. He also said that the Rampage will be better this season. I hope he is correct on that. We need to be better, this is our last season on our contract. It would be good to know if we will extend our contract with them, but that is not going to happen until sometime after the season. So Im not going to worry about that now. Still too early to even think about.

Curtis "Cujo" Joseph was in net practicing with the first group of guys. There he is talking to Grant Fuhr. It was interesting to see some of the big names in SA. I bet they never thought they would end up in SA one day. I know a lot of guys would think they would never go to Texas, well atleast the vets would most likely have thought that a few years ago.

After they had their practice they had to go up to meet some of the season ticket holders. The guys were nice enough to give autographs and take pictures with fans. Most of the guys sat together but what else is new. The players will always group together and not really spread out.

The guys have practice in the morning and then after that half the guys will be traveling to Dallas to play the Stars there. Should be interesting to see who wins that game. I will update after practice sometime. Later all!
