>Effinger to attend Blues development camp
>
Former RedHawks goaltender Charlie Effinger (Class of ’08) has been invited to the St. Louis Blues development camp this week at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis. Effinger finished his Miami career with a record of 33-14-4. His best season came during the 2005-2006 campaign, when Effinger finished with a 12-4-3 record and a 1.83 GAA/.983 save percentage, good for second best nationally.
>Brekke Accepts Assistant Coaching Position
>
According to a report from the Ithaca Journal, Cornell assistant coach Brent Brekke has accepted the open assistant coaching position on the RedHawks staff, vacated by Jeff Blashill. Brekke, a 1994 graduate of Western Michigan, was a part of the Cornell Big Red coaching staff for 9 seasons, placing a heavy focus on defense and recruiting; his role will be similar in Oxford as well. This is a great get for the RedHawks. This will definitely help expand Miami’s recruiting resources into the New England area (Boston University/Boston College country.)

Miami RedHawks sophomore Tommy Wingels was selected by the San Jose Sharks with the 177th overall pick in the 2008 NHL Draft. As a freshman during the season, Wingels had 15 goals and 14 assists, for a total of 29 points.
