Brampton Steelheads 2024 - 25 Season Thread, Part I

A point last night against Brantford was a bonus with all of the call ups. I was pleasantly surprised by how competitive we were.
Aidan Lane looks like he belongs in this league. Same with Macaulay.

Now that was a threadbare line up, glad they got the one point.

Interested to see how that goes. Signed him to a B contract so can only play 10 games, which was his idea I’m sure. Wants to play in both leagues, like Wang in Oshawa

I've heard that the SAC contracts are somewhat tough to get out of so I imagine that's part of the B contract as well

All 3 steelheads made team Canada and as I predicted it looks like they’re bringing Ivankovic along as the 3rd goalie for next year

That and the injuries have them severely short handed, down 12 skaters according to the broadcast ( I didn't count myself). Kamaris returned last night but Fibigr is now out. At least they mounted a comeback in the third against the Wolves and got a point.

Tough stretch, hopefully some bodies return soon. I hope to see a vastly fuller line up after the WJC and trade deadline but may be a rocky ride until then.

Reed Gee out with a suspension, isn't that 12 or 13 skaters out now and Ivank?

And then Karmiris gets ejected in the first period…terrible call.
Zebeski gets in a fight in his first game back and I’m screaming at the tv…what are you doing? We can’t afford any more injuries/suspensions.
This is unreal.

You'll love Alriksson, he's really put the pieces together this year, enjoy!

 

[tjziel]

Does that mean Martin Vaculik is traded or waived?

Possible part 2 trade with Storm if you are short bodies now??

 

[tjziel]

Naw, never mind.… Martin Vaculik has been waived.

I hope he lands somewhere. He has great potential. He only got 4 th line minutes playing with call up players for the most part.

More on Alriksson, he's grown into his frame this year. Skates well for such a tall guy, uses his large frame/wingspan to shield the puck well, cuts to the net, hard along the boards. He is checking more this year than last, but a very clean player as well. Most improved points-wise on the Storm this year. Looked great at the Canucks camp.

I'm going to miss seeing him on a line with our shortest player Max, the past couple of goals for Alriksson Max jumped into this arms/other hilarity with the size differential.
