>- The “RedHawks In the Pros” section on the left side of the page is updated to the best of my ability. Still trying to track down a few guys. Brian Kaufman is one of them, as is Taylor Hustead. He’s (Kaufman) not listed on the Houston Aeros roster, so if you know his whereabouts, please drop me a line! Same for Hustead.

– Miami Alum Dan Boyle was selected to be an alternate captain for the San Jose Sharks this season.

– Goaltender Charlie Effinger has joined the Allen Americans of the CHL. That makes three former RedHawks (Nino Musitelli and Bill Loupee are the others) to be a part of the expansion organization.

– Former RedHawks blueliner Alec Martinez will make his NHL debut on Saturday night against the Phoenix Coyotes.

– I sometimes post things on the Twitter account that don’t make the blog. Follow the hockey page at twitter.com/muhockeyblog, or my personal account @alexmmcdaniel.

– I won’t be able to attend the Miami exhibition on Saturday, against Windsor. I’ll be in Columbus for the Blue Jackets opening night game. If you’d like to send in an account of the exhibition, please e-mail me.

– Realized I left off Joe Cook’s name from the “All-Time Defenseman” voting. Pretty big name. E-mail me your case for him to make the team, if you so desire.
