Johnstown Chiefs News Release


Johnstown, PA- With just over two weeks before the Johnstown Chiefs home opener, several current and former Chiefs players are attending NHL and AHL training camps across North America.

Shymr, Sabourin and Aubry were all sent to the Chiefs AHL affiliate in Saint John, New Brunswick earlier this week. Sutter is injured and will remain in Calgary while he undergoes rehabilitation.

The Chiefs top three leading scorers from last year are all under AHL contract and are doing very well in camps. Forwards Eric Schneider and David Gove joined former Chiefs head coach Scott Allen with the Florida Panthers AHL affiliate San Antonio Rampage. Forward Dan Carlson is now under contract with the AHL Norfolk Admirals, an affiliate of the Chicago Blackhawks and the ECHL's Roanoke Express.

The Saint John Flames have invited several Chiefs players to their camp. Defensemen Jeff Sullivan, Ian Manzano, and Pierre- Luc Courchense are all in Flames camp as are forwards Jason Spence, Sam St. Pierre, Shawn Mather, Steve Hildenbrand and Dominic Roger. Dany Dallaire, Lou Mastromarino, and Aubry are the goaltenders in Flames camp.
