Tips in Traverse City
Published 2:58 pm Sunday, September 12, 2010
Just a reminder that the deciding Game 3 of the Northwest League championship series between the Everett AquaSox and Spokane Indians is at 6:05 p.m. tonight.
Anyway, back to hockey. The annual Traverse City prospects tournament is currently taking place. Everett has three-plus NHL prospects taking part. The three roster players are center Landon Ferraro (Detroit) defenseman Rasmus Rissanen (Carolina) and defenseman Alex Theriau (Dallas). In addition, defenseman Radko Gudas, who is eligible to return to Everett but expected to play professionally this season, is there with Tampa Bay.
Today is the second day of games, and here’s one writer had to say about Ferraro following Detroit’s opening game.
Further west, the Penticton prospects tournament begins later today. The Tips have two NHL prospects at this one: right wing Kellan Tochkin is playing for Vancouver and goaltender Thomas Heemskerk is playing for San Jose.
