The Utica Comets played just one game over this past week and we saw rookie defender Jack Rathbone pick up his first AHL goal, bringing his points total to five points in three games played. Seems good. Jonah Gadjovich stayed hot with his seventh goal in eight games played this season, while Kole Lind, Will…
In my four seasons of covering the Utica Comets, I have seen some players drafted or signed out of the CHL by the Vancouver Canucks who have been able to step into the AHL and be able to keep their heads above water, while others find it more difficult to adjust to the faster pace….
A depleted Utica Comets roster went 2-0 this week while outscoring their opponents by a count of 11-4 along the way. Their penalty kill was impressive, giving up just one goal while pressed into duty 13 times; their power play, however, could use a jumpstart as they went 2/8 over the two games. The Comets…
If you have been around Canucks Twitter over the past decade or so, you may have noticed a certain Canadian comedian cracking wise and live-tweeting the club’s games. He offers up a scaled-back play-by-play of what is going on while providing those who follow his account with his trademarked wit complete with onomatopoeia. Don’t worry,…
The Victoria Admirals U13 C2 hockey club is currently in the running for the Chevrolet Canada Good Deeds Cup. They have earned the right to represent the province of British Columbia in the Canada-wide challenge. That’s a pretty cool feat for a group of 11-12-year-olds who really just want to help The Children’s Health Foundation…
Through the years, we have heard stories about racial issues that have occurred during the course of hockey seasons at various levels. Racial slurs have been thrown around as though they are regular words that are okay to use in the heat of battle in a hockey game. The thing is, they are not okay…
The Utica Comets came into the week having won a game in regulation, lost one in regulation as well as adding a shootout win to their cause. This week saw them grab a least a point in each of their games as they won their home-opener over the Syracuse Crunch before giving way to the…
The Utica Comets played just one game this week, but they made sure to use every minute of ice time that they could to pull out a 6-5 win over the Binghamton Devils. We saw Kole Lind continue adding goals to his points totals, while Carson Focht “finally” got his first at the pro level….
Welcome to CanucksArmy’s new Comets Weekly feature where I will give you a recap of how the Utica Comets made out in their games for the week, and keep you up to date on all things Comets. Game One was worthy of a full recap which you can read here: Kole Lind nets a pair…
The Utica Comets kicked off their 2020/21 campaign with style as they took the first of 14 games against the Rochester Americans by a score of 3-2. Kole Lind potted a pair of goals, one of which came while up a man, while Jonah Gadjovich grabbed his first of the season for the other goal….
As we know, this year’s incarnation of the Utica Comets will have a new look as they will be shared between the Vancouver Canucks and St. Louis Blues. This setup could end up with both positive and possibly negative results for the prospects of the Vancouver Canucks, so I reached out to Comets GM Ryan…
Yesterday’s media availability had a distinct St. Louis flavour as we had access to Comets’ new Associate Head Coach, Drew Bannister and forward Sam Anas who led the AHL in scoring last year. That didn’t stop us from getting some Vancouver related content from them, though. Here are our five takeaways from today’s Zoom call….
