Official announcement

 

[Hobocop]

Everyone's reporting it, and he is now on the transactions page as signing a PTO with the Cuda, so looks like this is official.

Aliu last played hockey in the Czech league in 19-20, and was last in the AHL in 16-17.

Pretty crazy how speaking up against wrong doings in the NHL ruins careers, but covering it up and helping the criminals gets rewarded.

When Akim Aliu was in high school, he was on the cover of ESPN The Magazine (which I subscribed to, in print, in the before time) and had a huge article about how he was going to be the next big thing and was untraditional listening to hip hop when his teammates listened to country and all that. It didn't really pan out that way, and he did get screwed by some racist coaches, but I always wanted to give the guy a shot. I know he doesn't have anything left in the tank at 34 years old and never really made it to the NHL (but he is the founder of the Hockey Diversity Alliance), but even a tryout deal with the Sharks minor league affiliate makes me happy.

EDIT: For many reasons, mentioned directly and indirectly above, I would cry happy tears if somehow, someway, Akim Aliu got an NHL contract and could play even one game for the SJ Sharks this year. I'd probably even buy a Sharks jersey with his name on it (I'm due to get a current gen Sharks jersey anyways). I'm getting a little choked up just thinking about the fact that he's in the Sharks organization right now, albeit on a minor league tryout basis. But still.

PSA: The "Black Ice" Documentary is on HULU. I think it's really good, I saw it theatrically last year.

Looks like the Barracuda have a new tryout out of NCAA, but surprisingly it's a goalie. Gabriel Carriere, from University of Vermont:

About time something interesting happened.

Next Barracuda game is Wednesday @ San Diego, though they don't always rush new faces into the lineup.

 

[LadyStanley]

Per Pashelka he should join the team today, so there will be some practice time. They have been hardly having any healthy scratches, so he could/should be playing Wednesday.

Another ATO

 

[shorkie88]

oh that's too bad - I just missed him! Would've been nice to see him play in Calgary yesterday!

 

[Hobocop]

Wouldn't have been my first choice, but he's had some good moments lately



One more tryout.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

They must have very little belief in Gushchin if he can be nearly a point per game and still not get more than the one recall he got.

Shame too. I liked his time with us and I'm surprised they called Studnicka over him

it seriously makes no sense to me at all.

I think he's going back to Russia in the offseason. Will be interesting to see what happens with Chmelevski because like I said they'll probably have similar paths. Gushchin is already NHL skilled so he could just be traded as well.
