Caught up with the Thompsons ahead of Friday’s big day. Wild that Tyce will be in Buffalo, but not at the draft. I really wanted to dateline it “Orange,” but we weren’t quite in town. I thought about claiming that Tage could, really, become one of the most prominent people tied to Orange come Friday night. Wikipedia has a reasonable enough list. Are there others? A lot of Treats and Clarks, probably.
Anyway. Also locally, Grand Rapids announced that it has signed Fairfield’s Jack Barre. Barre played four years at Dartmouth.
Las Vegas is official:
50 more NHL contracted jobs in North America! Woo!
