Wranglers nicht länger ECHL-Farmteam der Flames

Auf Grund der zu hohen Reisekosten der Spieler zwischen AHL (Abbotsford) und ECHL (Las Vegas) trennen sich die Wege der Flames Franchise von denen der Wranglers. Die Wrangleres wechseln als ECHL Farmteam zu den nähergelegenen Phoenix Coyotes.

Letzte Saison in Vegas, jetzt in Nürnberg!

Ice Tigers holen 25-jährigen US-Verteidiger Spang

Die Nürnberg Ice Tigers sind auf der Suche nach einem neuen Verteidiger fündig geworden. Der 25-jährige Amerikaner Dan Spang (Foto) unterschrieb einen Ein-Jahres-Vertrag bei den Franken. In der vergangenen Saison spielte Linksschütze in der AHL für Quad City und Syracuse (54 Spiele, vier Tore, 17 Assists) sowie den ECHL-Club Las Vegas Wranglers (33 Spiele, sieben Tore, 20 Assists). 2002 war Spang von den San Jose Sharks in der zweiten Runde des NHL-Drafts ausgewählt worden, kam in der besten Liga der Welt aber nie zum Einsatz.

,,Wir sind sehr froh, dass wir einen passenden Ersatz für Michel Périard gefunden haben. Dan Spang ist genau wie er ein Allround-Verteidiger mit Offensivqualitäten und wird im Powerplay sicher eine tragende Rolle spielen", kommentierte Nürnbergs Manager Lorenz Funk jr. die Verpflichtung.

Wranglers mit neuem Coach

The Las Vegas Wranglers® announced today that Ryan Mougenel has been named Head Coach.

Ryan Mougenel (pronounced MOO-zhen-ell) becomes the second coach in Las Vegas Wranglers history. The 33-year old comes to Las Vegas after spending the last four seasons as an assistant coach with the Fresno Falcons (2005-08) and the Stockton Thunder (08-09). This marks Mougenel's first job as a Head Coach.

Over the last four seasons as an assistant coach under Matt Thomas, Mougenel's clubs made the Kelly Cup Playoffs every year and they posted a regular season record of 159-92-36 (.679). In 43 playoffs appearances, Mougenel's teams posted a 22-21 record.

Prior to helping the Stockton Thunder qualify for the 2009 Kelly Cup Playoffs, the Scarborough, ON native helped guide the Fresno Falcons to three consecutive playoff berths, including the club's first Pacific Division title, a 100-point season and a berth in the National Conference Finals in 2006.

Before beginning his coaching venture in 2005-06, Mougenel played professionally for six seasons, including a total of 115 games in the International and American Hockey Leagues. He also played for Team Canada during the 1999-00 campaign. He retired as a player following the 2002-03 season, during which he was part of the Atlantic City Boardwalk Bullies Kelly Cup Championship squad.

Along with former NHLer's Wayne and Keith Primeau, Mougenel is owner and operator of the Durham Hockey Institute, a hockey school in the Toronto area. He is also a part owner of the Durham Fury, a member of the Ontario Provincial Junior Hockey League (OPJHL).

The Wranglers host Opening Night on Friday, October 16, 2009 at 7:05 PM against Utah. 2009-10 season seat packages are on sale now at (702) 471-PUCK. The Wranglers play all 36 regular season home games at the Orleans Arena.

Wusste gar nicht das die beiden Primeaus Brüder sind und ne Hockey-Schule haben....

Ansonsten hört sich das ganz gut an mit dem Coach. Gulu war ja auch nen junger HC!

Fisher folgt Gulu nach Texas

The Las Vegas Wranglers® announced today that Director of Broadcasting and Media Relations Josh Fisher has accepted the same position with the American Hockey League's Texas Stars in Cedar Park, TX.

Bin mal gespannt ob die Wranglers diese Löcher im Staff stopfen können.....

Wranglers Coach wechselt in die AHL

The Las Vegas Wranglers® announced today that General Manager and Head Coach Glen Gulutzan has accepted an offer to be the Head Coach of the American Hockey League's Texas Stars in Cedar Park, TX.

Das ist mal ein herber Verlust für unser ECHL Team. Gulutzan hat in LV in den letzten 6 Jahren top Arbeit geleistet. Die Presseberichte und Interviews mit ihm hatten auch immer einen hohen Interessantheitsgrad, denn da wurde oft Tacheles geredet. Jetzt geht er zur AHL-Filiale der Stars ins 26.000 Einwohner Städtchen Cedar Park (33km entfernt von Austin).

Er wäre mMn auch ne Option anstatt Playfair für die AHL Filiale der Flames gewesen...
