I have some  alumni updates to share.

First, I heard over the weekend that James Marcou is back skating with the Worcester Sharks after being out over a year recovering from a concussion and neck injuries.  While he hasn’t been cleared for contact yet it’s great to hear he’s back on the ice.

Secondly, Alex Berry is still on the mend from a nasty injury sustained during training camp for the Portland Pirates.  While the damage was enough to make for a lengthy recovery, the good news is he is progressing and getting his arm in working order.  Certainly hoping the healing continues going well for him.

Justin Braun was the #3 star for the Sharks on Saturday, scoring a goal and an assist.
