May. 8, 2013 5:06 pm
That's after the second phase of the United States Hockey League draft Tuesday.
The Cedar Rapids RoughRiders took 27 players in an elongated, seven-hour draft that didn't conclude until after 11 p.m. The club selected seven other guys with 1997 birthdates in the first phase of the draft Monday.
Possible returning players from this season whose USHL rights the RoughRiders own are:
Forwards - Bryson Cianfrone, Dylan Gareau, Alec Marsh, Dylan McLaughlin, Andrew Oglevie, Judd Peterson, Jack Rowe, Dylan Steman, Ross Olsson, Michael Babcock, Corey Petrash, Andrew Poturalski. Defense - Mark Auk, Clark Kuster, Avni Berisha, Scott Moldenhauer, Paul O'Connor. Goalies - Chris Birdsall.
Those from the 2012-13 affiliate list whose rights the Riders own are:
Forwards - Austin Kamer, Trevor Stone, Ryan Wagner, Jason Kalinowski. Defense - Mitch Reinke, Johnny Walker. Goalies - Drew Vogler, Chad Catt.
Russian defenseman Ivan Provorov signed an official USHL tender prior to both phases of the draft, which consistuted C.R.'s first pick in the first phase.
That leaves all of the drafted guys Monday and Tuesday. Here are the lists, beginning with the first phase.
The Riders' annual tryout camp is May 30 through June 2 at the Cedar Rapids Ice Arena. It'll be interesting to see how many of these guys will attend:
