Lafayette, LA â Louisiana IceGators forwards Bruce Richardson and Dennis Shiryaev and defenseman Kevin Mitchell have been released from the AHL Houston Aeros' training camp and will return to the IceGators on Wednesday, Louisiana head coach and vice president of hockey operations Dave Farrish announced Tuesday.
