Allen Americans Media Day

Great media day event put on by the Allen Americans. Much more interest than in past years. Heard from Modano, Ludwig, Belfour, Duchesne, Matvichuk, & Martinson. You might think there are lots of cooks in the kitchen but the consistency of the message from each of them was right on. It is obvious the ownership group has been successful in attracting quality players. As coach Martinson said, we are

going to be big, strong, tough and hard to play against but with good speed and skill as well. The building blocks are there but a lot of work ahead to build a team. Brenden Morrow & Ray Whitney joined the group of Dallas Stars players skating with the team today. Martinson mentioned how valuable it was to have the Stars participate.

 

Other tidbits:

 

- There are a couple of defensemen on the way who are as yet unannounced

- Martinson, Matvichuk, Ludwig & Duchesne were all on the ice at practice

- Scott Howes not in camp yet. Is on the way

- KLAK (97.5) will be working with the Americans again this year. 

- You can get the broadcast inside the Allen Event Center. Bring your radio to the game and listen to Tommy Daniels

- There was some good natured kidding about the minority owners suiting up for a game. I'm just sayin!
