Alumni Report
September 24, 2005
I tracked down a few more of our Binghamton Alumni:
Pete Vandermeer signed with Montreal this season and is in NHL camp.
Chris Grenville is back with Laredo in the CHL where he led the team and scoring and helped them win the President’s Cup in 2004.
Dieter Kochan has apparently signed with the Sibir Novosibirsk of the Russian League. Most likely a victim of the new AHL salary cap.
While trying to track down Alex Andreyev I learned that he was struck in the face with a puck last season, breaking his orbital bone and possibly damaging his eye. It doesn’t look like Alex came back that season. Here’s the story from the Jackals site:
Andreyev underwent tests to his injured right eye Wednesday at Rochester General Hospital. The 6’4” 235 lbs defenseman suffered a horrific injury when a puck struck his eye in a game against the Danbury Trashers on Saturday January 22nd at the First Arena.
“The doctors are still waiting for the pressure and swelling to go down,” said Coach Brost. “There is a chance that he might get his vision back, which is positive news.”The Riga, Latvia native is expected to need various surgeries to repair the damage to his lens and the broken bones around the eye.
