News Article: Grimaldi, Trocheck Continue Their Journey Together

[BW]

Caught up with Rocco Grimaldi at development camp and spent quite a few minutes with him for a feature story I was doing for Scripps newspapers. Spun it a little differently here. We all know his story -- quality kid, great character, unbelievably determined -- but got some words with him on his relationship with Trocheck, moving to wing after playing center most of his career, what he needs to do, etc. Skrudland weighs in, too.

Can't say enough about Rocco and Vince. I was fortunate to cover their draft in Minnesota, and it's funny how they seem connected throughout their development. If Cats play it right, these two should be part of the organization for a long time. These two are just winners, that's it.

Excellent read, especially glad to read Rocco has a chance not to go to Texas.

If true, I still expect he won't, and a preseason trade is obviously coming.

We had a defenseman dress as our backup goalie once, why not a forward?
