Global TV was at Hitmen practice today and did a story on Peter Kosterman getting a free agent invite to Flames rookie camp. Reporter Kevin Smith tells me the story will air at 6:50pm and then again around 11:45pm. Also Head Coach Mike Williamson will be a guest of Sportstalk at 8:05pm tonight on AM770 Radio.
I stand corrected the Hitmen roster is at 38, not 37 as the remaining list also includes injured goalie Chris Driedger (ankle). Expect the full list of players left in camp tomorrow as the team prepares to open it's pre-season schedule this weekend.
Nice to see Hitmen alumnus Brandon Segal has found a new NHL home. During his time in Calgary, Segal played parts of five seasons with the Hitmen (1999/2000 to 2003-04) appearing in 286 regular season games (110g 96a) picking up 206 points. Here is the official release from the Hawks.
