"Sugar" in Chocolatetown

The Hershey BEARS have added a legit heavyweight to their roster for the 2009-2010 season. Brandon Sugden has been signed to a one year AHL contract with the BEARS. Check out John Walton's press release, interview with Doug Yingst and Mark French and the story behind the BEARS newest enforcer here: http://johnwaltonhockey.blogspot.com/

Back from Vacation

Since the start of my vacation, alot has happened on the BEARS front. The biggest news of the offseason to date has to be the resigning of Alex Giroux. What a coupe for Doug Yingst and George McPhee to land Alex back in the organization. Also the BEARS added veteran goalie Jason Bacashihua to provide goaltending depth. The club also signed Andrew Joudrey to an AHL 1-year contract for the upcoming season. Stick with us here at Dupree in the Sin Bin for any other breaking news.

I will be headed north to the Walton Estate this weekend to take in an evening of poker and morning of golf with John Walton, Scott Stuccio, Grady Whitenburg, Pete Michaud and a few other East Division friends. Check back here over the weekend for updates on all the fun.

Going on Vacation!!

With Free Agent news all but grinding to a halt, I will be heading to the beach with the family for a week. If any news would arise, either BEARS or Caps related, check out John Walton's blog(http://www.johnwaltonhockey.com/) or Tim Leone at http://www.pennlive.com/. In a few weeks I will be heading north to Central PA to catch up with some of the voice's of the East Division for the Annual AHL/East Division Golf & Poker outing. Should be fun again this year. Talk to all of you in a few weeks.
