Reunions, many miles away

A couple of alumni notes, with help from Elite Prospects: Tomas Marcinko to HC Kosice*, where he played before jumping to the OHL as an 18-year-old. And Matt Keith apparently goes to Austria, joining a team with quite a few familiar names. Per Katie Strang, the team where Keith had been, HC Karlovy Vary, will add Andrew MacDonald. His old defense partner, Dustin Kohn, is also on that roster.

Ray notes in the comments that Pascal Morency is listed with Arizona in the Central League (along with former Sound Tigers (briefly) and Danbury Trashers (somewhat longer) defenseman Mario Larocque). From a quick tour of those lists, Allen has Kip Brennan, Darryl Bootland and Scott Howes; Missouri has Riley Emmerson, who was here briefly before the ATOs arrived in 2011; Tulsa has former Sacred Heart forward Matt Gingera; and Denver lists Eddie Campbell, who apparently joins Brad "Shooter" Smyth (and literal one-time Sound Tiger Luke Fulghum) with coach Derek Armstrong. Wonder if Brent Thompson is thinking about taking a lockout deal down there.

Meanwhile, speaking of SHU, I no sooner noticed that Patrick Knowlton was in Fort Wayne than Patrick Knowlton wasn't in Fort Wayne anymore. (Appears Blake Kessel starts in Trenton.)

And from the Island -- you know that team that's going to be showing up in Bridgeport sometime Thursday night? -- a whole new set of line combos. Travis Hamonic still listed day-to-day there.

*-A long time since we Fun With Babelfish'd (with Google Translate): "Represented Slovakia at the World Championships in the twenty years between 2007 and 2008." Time stands still. Also, "In the summer, he decided to return to Europe, as he was in the Swedish fashion." Which sounds like a fantastic euphemism for something, no? "How's your son?" "Hadn't you heard? He's in the Swedish fashion." "Ah, say no more."
