Moncton Wildcats News Release
Fans and Rio - a Wildcats love affair:
Wildcats fans at the 4-Plex cheered and cheered and Nicola Riopel smiled and smiled as he made his way to centre ice for the official puck drop of Friday's exhibition game between the Cats and the Halifax Moosehead. Preparing for his first NHL training camp with the Philadephia Flyers, Rio got a send off from the fans he thrilled last season with his outstanding goaltending. Prior to the game, he was presented with a pair of trophies as the QMJHL's first all star team goalie and for being part of the League's best defensive team last season.
Wildcats to NHL camps:
September will be an exciting month for current members and alumni of the Wildcats. Off to make a bid for a chance in "The Show" are David Savard, who's headed to the Columbus Blue Jackets camp, Scott Brannon will head for the Nashville Predators camp, Mark Barberio will join the rookies looking for a spot in the Tampa Bay lineup and Ted Stephens will be part of the Montreal Canadiens camp. Alumni Zack Sill is set to make a bid for the Wilkes Barre/Scranton Penguins and of course, Rio to Philadelphia.
