Odessa Jackalopes prepping for second NAHL season


The Odessa Jackalopes will kick off their second season in the North American Hockey League on Sept. 12 against the Fairbanks Ice Dogs at the annual NAHL Showcase in Blaine, Minn.

It is the first of four games in four days for every team in the league, as college and professional scouts get their first looks at this year’s players.

The Jackalopes face the Coulee Region Chill on Sept. 13; the Kenai River Brown Bears on Sept. 14, and the Minot (N.D.) Minotauros to close out the Showcase on Sept. 15.

Odessa, led by Coach Paul Gillis, made the playoffs in its inaugural season and will hold its tryout camp July 26-29 at Polar Ice House in Grapevine.

Good info on the Chill esp regarding the returning players. Just wandering about the status of a few other vets players that were no mentioned here them being Jim Hughes and Ross Ludtke. Thank You.

Pete,

My understanding is that Jim Hughes was at the Chill camp but is injured and that Ross Luedtke has been traded to Wichita Falls.

Regards,

RR

Thanks appreciate this info.
