RTO's for the day 11/12/12:
- Brad Gallant signed with Fort Worth on Friday and was placed on "team suspension" yesterday. What is that all about.
- Heard a rumor Andrew Howes was also talking to the Brahmas.
- The team left Moline on the bus at 6:00 am this morning for Bloomington. Practice is scheduled in Bloomington at 10:00 am.
- The new collective bargaining agreement has not been posted on the PHPA site. I heard the owners vote was due 10 days ago. Maybe it takes longer for the players to vote. Thought it would have been done and announced by now.
- Brett Skinner is fourth in assists (ten) in the CHL. There are no other defensemen in the top 20.
- Brian McMillin has the second highest scoring percentage in the league (42.9%) having scored 3 goals on only 7 shots.
- The Americans have the top penalty kill (89.6%) in the league and the second rated power play (27.8%).
- As part of the "Seats For Soldiers" program the Americans will honor veterans from the Heritage Ranch community at the game on Saturday. Over 100 veterans and family members will be in attendance.
- Mike Montgomery who has already had a couple of call ups to the AHL (Houston) played in his first game for the Aeros on Friday. Mike had an assist and was +2 in the 5-4 Houston shootout victory.
- Might be a quiet night for the Americans when they play the Bloomington Blaze tomorrow. I have heard the Blaze often draw less than 1000 people per game even though the official attendance figures are higher. They recently offered season tickets for $3 per game. More indication the CHL is going to have a tough time keeping the teams they have. Can't wait for a move to the ECHL for the Americans. Sure hope it happens next year.
