MEDIA DAY COMMENTS

It was without a doubt the most positive atmosphere for any of the five Media day events that we’ve been a part of with the Hartford Wolf Pack.

Rather than bore you with my iterpretation of what was said, we’ll just give you a quick taste of what was said both by the principals involved and we got a few quick words with many of the players about what their goals are for the upcoming season.

We’ll start with it the way they did. Up first, Howard Baldwin.

Rangers Assistant GM and Wolf Pack GM, Jim Schoenfeld 

Wolf Pack / Whale Head Coach, Ken Gernander 

AEG Executive Chuck Steedman 

From the players, we start with perhaps the top prospect in Hartford, Dale Weise. 

Hartford’s version of Sean Avery, Devin DiDiomete  

Left wing, Brodie Dupont  

Goaltender, Chad Johnson 

Team Enforcer, Justin “Scary” Soryal  

One of the most talked about prospects in Hartford, Evgeny Grachev.

Here’s a laugh as yours truly asks Jim Schoenfeld how he feels he’s changed over the last couple of seasons. 

Lastly, Howard Baldwin talks about the difference between starting a team now in Hartford as opposed to when he did it as a young man.
