Holmstrom to Norfolk
Only two men have served as captain in every game they played for the Bridgeport Sound Tigers. Mark Wotton did it for 368 games. Ben Holmstrom, coincidentally, did it for 268. The captain’s departure …
I Got Stung: Rochester postgame 2
Penalties helped blew up the second period yesterday for Bridgeport. Not so much penalties today in the third, though that’s how the third began. The third also began, further along, without a …
All shook up: Rochester pregame 2
Long week. It wraps up with a rematch, and it wraps up with the season debut of the captain. Coming out for him is Chris Bourque, who missed part of Tuesday’s practice, you may recall; may be related …

Josh Ho-Sang sits out tonight. Brent Thompson said he’s day-to-day, upper-body, and again, apparently lingering from Tuesday’s practice. Then again, Thompson yesterday expected Ho-Sang to play, so …
Protect this house: Belleville postgame
They allowed only 13 shots last night, and Belleville just about doubled that tonight, had five alone in the first 8:07 of the second period. That’s when Bridgeport made it 3-0. That first eight …
