We notice things that don't work. We don't notice things that do.

Here's notice that last season's senior class has found work in professional hockey:

Erik Condra is in the Seanators' AHL affiliate in Binghamton.

Christian Hanson played 5 games with the Leafs last year, recording two points. He has started this season with the Leafs' AHL affiliate (also in Toronto).

Jordan Pearce went to the Red Wings' AHL affiliate in Grand Rapids at the end of last season and played poorly in his only appearance. He started the year in Grand Rapids but now is on the ECHL Toledo Walleyes' roster. I believe he still plans to go to medical school when he's done with his hockey career.

Garrett Regan went to the Las Vegas Wranglers at the end of last season, registering two points in two games, but was released in July. He signed with the Idaho Steelheads (the Stars' ECHL side) last month.

Justin White just recently showed up on the roster of the Pens' ECHL affiliate Wheeling Nailers.

Luke Lucyk played for the ECHL Charlotte Checkers at the end of last season. He was in camp with the Rangers' AHL Hartford Wolfpack, but was reassigned to the Checkers last month.
