There was a lot to like at yesterday's scrimmage at THE RINKS - Anaheim Ice, part of the week-long prospects summer conditioning camp. First was the big crowd that came out to watch the kids (which was even bigger during the first scrimmage of the week on Tuesday). One thing that sticks out among those crowds is how their reaction to goals is much different than at your typical hockey game. In these games, the crowd is just kind of rooting for good hockey rather than pulling for the home team. So whenever a goal is scored, you hear more of a "OOOOOOOHHHHHHH" from the stands, which is much different than the "HEEEE-YEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!!!" you hear in your typical NHL arena.
There were a few of those "OOOOOOOHHHHHHH"s last night during the 5-2 victory by the White team (Dan Sexton, Kyle Palmieri, Emerson Etem, etc.) over the Black (Nick Bonino, Peter Holland, Devante Smith-Pelly, etc.). Sexton, who ironically enough looks like a man amongst boys in these scrimmages, had two goals last night (one on a penalty shot following a penalty since they don't do power plays in these scrimmages). Rob Bordson, signed by the Ducks last March out of Minnesota-Duluth, also had two goals, while Bonino (looking very sharp, by the way) scored for the Black team.

Kyle Page signed a contract extension to stay with Toledo. Here's the press release I received today:
Page Inks Deal to Return to Walleyes
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio – The Toledo Walleye (ECHL) hockey team announced today that the team and Kyle Page have agreed to a contract that will return the defenseman for 2010-11 after reaching the playoffs in the team’s inaugural season.
After finishing the 2009-10 Falcon hockey season and his collegiate career, Page signed a one-year deal with the Walleye to finish out their season. In 12 regular season games with Toledo, he scored once on 18 shots taken, recorded a pair of assists for a total of three points and possessed a minus-one on-ice rating. The Walleye finished the regular season with a 35-30 record (77 points) and earned a playoff spot in the franchise’s first season of existence.
The two-time captain of the Falcons ended his career in Brown and Orange setting career highs as a senior in assists (14) and points (17). In 146 games as a Falcon, Page scored seven goals and notched 27 assists while being named to the All-CCHA Rookie Honorable Mention Team in 2006-07 and three times awarded the Jim Ruehl for being the team’s best defensive player.
The Toledo Walleye will begin the regular season on Friday, October 15 at 7:00 PM in Wheeling, W.Va. against the Nailers. The home opener will be Saturday, October 16 at 7:00 p.m. when the Walleye host Wheeling at the Huntington Center.
