Congrats to Mitchell Stephens as he made the cut and will be representing team Canada at the Ivan Hlinka tourney. Has 3 goals so far in the tournament. Hopefully a sign of good things to come this season.

I really liked him as a rookie last year and I think he's going to have a great season for us this year. I'm not sure about his size, he may need to get paired on a line with a tougher guy (I'm thinking maybe the new guy Brown) so that he can use his great speed and light the lamp for us this year.

“@seanlafortune: Nothing confirmed, but have heard there has been some movement on an unsigned 98 signing with this team. Will share more soon.”
Your choices are Logan Brown, Victor Mete or Tye Felhaber.
Another poster on HFboards said its Felhaber. Take that for what you will.
Nothing confirmed but would be huge for us. My guess is that it's Brown that is signing with Niagara.

I have found it interesting that there is an electronic billboard by the Meijer's on Tittabawassee and it has been playing an ad that says "Welcome to the Great Lakes Bay Region Tye Felhaber." I was wondering if him and his family paid Saginaw a visit recently.

“@seanlafortune: Don't take it as 'done', but I no longer would be surprised to see Tye Felhaber skating with the Saginaw Spirit this year.”
He's almost always right. I haven't been a fan of Jimmy P lately but this would be a great job by him to get Felhaber to report after it seemed like there was less than 0 chance of that happening.

Heard from a very reliable source that Felhaber was going to be in town the weekend of August 8th. Just home from two weeks in Minnesota, so I can't confirm that it actually happened.

He is not signed until he is signed. Remember Sheldon Ferguson.

No one remembers Sheldon Ferguson. Not even Sheldon Ferguson. Thats the point.
For what its worth, I saw that Felhaber recently started following the Saginaw Spirit on the twitter. I wouldn't take my word for it, because I don't exactly know how the twitter works. Or for that matter, what the twitter even is. I barely understand Thefacebook, which I think is a thing where ivy league types chit chat to one another about how they are all better than the rest of us.
It helps to understand me by realizing that my understanding of the internet is mired in the year 2004.

Sonny Milano has de-committed from Boston College and will be playing for the Plymouth Whalers this year,after signing an entry level contract with the Columbus Blue Jackets. This is not good news.

DiscoStu...you're way behind, TheFacebook isn't just for ivy leaguers anymore, it's open to most college kids now but you have to have a .edu email address to sign up. I'd be surprised if it makes it mainstream since who cares about other people's vacation photos or pictures of their cat.
