Here's A Guess At 3 Guys Who Could End Up With Aces

Just spit-ballin' here, but the Peoria Rivermen's Web site offers at least a hint of some players who may end up with the ECHL Alaska Aces after attending training camp with Peoria of the American Hockey League.

According to Peoria's entry on the series of tubes, free-agent forwards Jordan Foreman, Jason Ryznar and Nick Mazzolini -- the last two guys are from Anchorage -- are scheduled to attend Peoria's camp, which opens Sunday. The Aces have not announced signing any of those three, but they all have an Anchorage connection, and if they don't make the grade in Peoria, it's not a stretch to imagine they could end up with the Aces.

Foreman, 22, was a rookie for the Aces last season. He racked 9-5--14 totals, a -6 rating and 105 penalty minutes in 40 regular-season games. Then-coach Keith McCambridge thought he showed promise.

Ryznar, 26, will be a fifth-year pro -- his resume includes four seasons of AHL play and eight games with the NHL's New Jersey Devils in 2005-06. Ryznar, who played four seasons at Michigan, last season earned 4-2--6 and -3 totals in 77 games with AHL Houston. He's known as a defensive forward.

Mazzolini, 25, is a rookie. He played four seasons at Providence College in Hockey East, earning 25-42--67 totals in 126 career games. Last season, he went 7-9--16 and -9 in 24 games for the Friars.
