Dragon Defenseman Suffers Broken Toe (7/17) Representatives for Dragon defenseman Dave Spencer held a news conference this week to announce that Spencer would be out for the foreseeable future.

Spencer's medical staff announced at this gathering that if the healing process were to be disturbed by playing on said toe, that surgery may be an option to insert a pair of 6 inch stainless screws into the broken appendage in order to encourage the healing process. Doctors could give no firm estimate as to the length of time Spencer will miss only to estimate sometime between 2 games and 2 seasons.

Drop 4-2 Decision to Storm (7/2) It Seems the theme to this season is run short run hard. As the Storm dropped a 4-2 defeat on the shorthanded Dragons. ALthough making it a game against this D Division team, the shorthanded situation was just a little more than the Dragons could handle. This was the first time seeing FORMER Dragon Mick Pechenuk in action since his team dropped down a level. Tallying both goals tonight for the Dragons was EHM Joe Morrissey, with assists from Jim Gaglione and Mike Connors. Also playing a solid game again in net was netminder Doug Stewart, stopping 40 of 44 shots on the evening. This loss drops the Dragons to 1-2 on the young season, but still very much in the hunt for a playoff berth. The next game for the Blanc et Rouge is Friday July 11th at 9PM.
