Loupée lands invite to Worcester camp
August 25, 2009 - Central Hockey League (CHL)
Allen Americans News Release
The Allen Americans announced today that they are sending another player to an American Hockey League training camp. The Worcester Sharks invited forward Bill Loupée to their camp Sept. 21.
Loupée is excited about the invitation. "It's a good opportunity and will be a good experience before coming to Allen," Loupée said Tuesday.
Americans Head Coach and General Manager Dwight Mullins has similar thoughts.
"To be able to go and compete at the American League level will be a great learning experience for Billy. With his strong work ethic and ability to skate, I think he'll make a positive impression," Mullins said.
Loupée, 24, is known for his strong skating ability and has a knack for creating scoring opportunities. He can play wing or center, making him a flexible asset for any club.
The 5-foot-10 forward weighs 183 pounds. He graduated from Miami University in Ohio this year and was part of the school's first trip to the Frozen Four.
Loupée joins the growing list of Americans attending AHL or National Hockey League camps. Goaltender Chris Whitley and forward Justin Bowers will be skating with the Detroit Red Wings and Phoenix Coyotes respectively, while Liam Huculak and Bruce Graham have been invited to attend the Texas Stars' training camp.
