News was rather slow over the weekend. However, there were some things to note.
Friday
James Mirtle reported Friday that goalie pads could have a few more alterations in the near future. It appears that the pad sizes will be based upon each different goalie’s size and weight.
Today was another rather interesting news day. There’s lots to talk about so let’s get started.
First off, we’ll serve Penguins fans in announcing that the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins have signed right wing Tommy Goebel out of Ohio State (WBS). Goebel spent his four years in college at both Ohio State and Michigan, which I didn’t know was allowed. I’m surprised he survived that switch.
Nevertheless he put up 115 points (54 G – 61 A) in 147 career NCAA games. As an alternate captain for the buckeye last year, Goebel hit career highs in both goals and points with 21 and 36.
Goebel played five games in Rochester in the AHL last season. He averaged a point per game with two goals and three assists.
