Polaski's Return From IR Completes Eagles Puzzle
March 7, 2008 - Central Hockey League (CHL)
Colorado Eagles News Release
LOVELAND Colo. - Colorado Eagles Head Coach Chris Stewart announced today that forward Scott Polaski will be activated from the 30-Day Injured Reserve and return to the team for tonight's game against the Mississippi RiverKings; Polaski has been out of the line-up since January 12 due to an unspecified injury. Polaski's return marks the first time all season that the Eagles will have a fully-healthy roster.
"This is the way I constructed the team heading into the season and I'm thrilled to be finally seeing it today," said Stewart. "In the offseason, you work hard to get the right pieces to the puzzle, and you hope to use that puzzle throughout the season. We haven't been able to do that this year until now." Steward added, "With the playoffs approaching, this is just the right time." Stewart himself missed the first 21 games of the season while recovering from offseason back surgery.
Macro Emond and Erik Adams were out of the line-up to start the 2007-08 season, and since then, several other players have missed significant time as well: Fraser Filipic (13 games), Les Borsheim (12 games), Jason Beatty (nine games), Jay Birnie (seven games), Greg Pankewicz (six games) and Aaron Schneekloth (five games). Most notably, Ryan Tobler came back from an injury two weeks ago after being out of the lineup since October 30.
