Tyrell departs; want to be a TV star?
Published 10:12 am Wednesday, September 16, 2009
Everett’s roster was reduced by one more today, but not because a player was cut. Winger Corey Tyrell, who appeared to be in line to make the roster after receiving an invitation to training camp, left the team Tuesday. Everett general manager Doug Soetaert was a little baffled by Tyrell’s decision, but seemed prepared to move on without him. The 19-year-old Tyrell left the Prince George Cougars midway through last season over playing time issues.
Tyrell leaving reduces Everett’s roster to 26. They are, with birth years:
Forwards (14): Cameron Abney (91), Zack Dailey (89), Travis Dunstall (89), Campbell Elynuik (92), Byron Froese (91), Shane Harper (89), Dale Hunt (90), Daniel Iwanski (90), Tyler Maxwell (91), Markus McCrea (92), D.Jay McGrath (92), Kellan Tochkin (91), Paul Van de Velde (90), Josh Winquist (93).
Defensemen (9): Chris de la Lande (90), Radko Gudas (90), Drew McDermott (91), Gabe Minville (92), Ryan Murray (93), Rasmus Rissanen (91), Colin Scherger (89), Paul Sohor (91), Alex Theriau (92).
Goaltenders (3): Thomas Heemskerk (90), Luke Siemens (92), Kent Simpson (92).
Siemens will be reassigned once Heemskerk returns from his tryout with the NHL’s San Jose Sharks. The Tips will also have to make a decision on an overager by Oct. 15. Otherwise, from a numbers standpoint this looks like the team for the season.
One other note. Want to be on television? KING-5 is shooting a promotional video Thursday that will air next week in advance of the home opener, and they want a crowd of boisterous Tips fans in the background. Fans are asked to assemble in front of the Silvertip offices at 10:45 a.m. Thursday, with the shoot taking place somewhere from 11-11:30.
