Odds & Ends From Around Pioneer Nation

2010 recruit Jason Zucker from Las Vegas scored two goals for the USNDT-Under 17 team in the second day of the NAHL Showcase. Zucker has three goals in two tournament games. Nick Shore from Denver (younger brother of 2009 DU recruit Drew Shore) chipped in with two assists. Nick Shore is a top notch recruit.

DU alum Peter Mannino saw his first action in the nets for the NY Islanders Rookie Team. The Isle's rookies beat the Bruins rookies yesterday 8-4. Mannino have up two goals and played half the game.

Former Pioneer Ryan Dingle scored the first goal of the game as the Ducks rookies beat the Sharks rookies 3-2. The goal was scored after recent DU alum Andy Thomas was able to control the puck into the corner of the offensive zone.
The Ducks would finally break a scoreless tie on a goal by left winger Ryan Dingle at the 18:40 mark of the first period, an unassisted goal while the two teams were playing at even strength.

“O’Dell had a great win off the draw and then Andy Thomas was able to get it deep in the corner,” said Dingle. “Fortunately, I was able to get to the puck first. I kind of wheeled around the net. The goalie was caught on the other side of the net, so I saw that right away and threw it right at him. It was a nice little break. It was a good offensive play from the get go.”
