Peoria Rivermen News Release
Peoria, IL (December 29, 2005) - General Manager of Hockey Operations Kevin McDonald of the Peoria Rivermen, the proud primary affiliate of the St. Louis Blues, announced today that the Blues have returned goaltender Reinhard Divis on loan to the Rivermen and reassigned center Ryan Ramsay from the Rivermen to the Alaska Aces of the ECHL. McDonald also related that the Rivermen have recalled center Cam Keith from ECHL Alaska and left wing Charles Linglet from the ECHL's Las Vegas Wranglers.
Divis, 30, has seen action in both the National Hockey League (NHL) and the American Hockey League (AHL) this season. A 6-0, 192-pound netminder, he has appeared in seven games as a Blue this season and in nine games for the Rivermen. A native of Vienna, Austria, Divis was St. Louis' 8th choice, 261st overall, in the 2000 NHL Entry Draft.
Ramsay, 22, has to this point spent the entire 2005-06 season with the Rivermen. In 26 outings for Peoria this season, the 5-11, 200-pound center has recorded three goals, five assists, and 41 minutes in penalties. The native of Ajax, Ontario, re-signed with the Blues as a free agent on July 12, 2005.
Born in Nelson, British Columbia, Keith has notched 19 points (9 goals, 10 assists) and drawn 14 penalty minutes in 26 games played thus far in 2005-06 for the Alaska Aces of the ECHL. The 25-year-old center split his first full professional season of 2004-05 between the ECHL's Pensacola Ice Pilots (67 games) and the St. John's Maple Leafs (three games) of the AHL. Measuring 6-3 and 214 pounds, he registered 37 points (14 goals, 23 assists) and 54 minutes in penalties for Pensacola last year.
Linglet, 23, returns to the Rivermen after spending the first part of this season in Peoria. Before being loaned to the Las Vegas Wranglers of the ECHL on December 2, the 6-2, 212-pound left winger saw action in 10 tilts with the Rivermen, scoring five goals and four assists and incurring zero penalty minutes. The product of Montreal, Quebec, collected 11 points (3 goals, 8 assists) and 15 penalty minutes in 12 games with the Wranglers.
The Rivermen are a proud new member of the AHL. Founded in 1936, the AHL now serves as the primary development league for all 30 National Hockey League teams and is celebrating its 70th anniversary season in 2005-06.
