Stars Return Glennie
September 21, 2009 - Western Hockey League (WHL)
Brandon Wheat Kings News Release
Brandon, Manitoba -- The National Hockey League's Dallas Stars have announced that 18-year old center Scott Glennie has been reassigned to the Western Hockey League's Brandon Wheat Kings.
Glennie was the Stars' first round pick, 8th overall, in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft and is coming off a stellar sophomore season in the WHL, scoring 28 goals and 70 points in 55 games.
Glennie suffered a groin injury during a recent NHL Prospects Tournament in Traverse City, Michigan and missed most of Stars' training camp. However, the 18-year old Winnipeg product skated on Saturday and is expected to return to Brandon on Tuesday.
Glennie's return leaves four Wheat Kings -- Brayden Schenn (Los Angeles), Matt Calvert (Columbus), Alexander Urbom (New Jersey) and Toni Rajala (Edmonton) at NHL Camps. Rajala has also been off the ice at Oilers' camp while rehabilitating a knee injury that he suffered in August.
As far as the other three?
"We don't have any update on what their status is going to be," Wheat Kings' coach and general manager Kelly McCrimmon told CKLQ's Bruce Luebke on Monday. "As I understand it, all three of those players are going tremendously well."
The Wheat Kings next action is Friday, when they host the Swift Current Broncos in their first home game of the 2009-2010 season. Tickets to the game are on sale now at the Keystone Centre box office (Pioneer Lounge), online at ticketmaster.ca or by calling 726-3555.
