It's A Small, Small Hockey World (Just Ask Kris Tebbs And Kevin Nastiuk)

Further evidence that the hockey world is a tiny place comes out of the Central Hockey League, where the Corpus Christi IceRays have jettisoned one former Alaska Aces goaltender and replaced him with another.

The IceRays have released former Alaska tender Kris Tebbs, 28, who played for them all last season and this season went 2-2-2 this season, with a 3.69 goals-against average and .882 save percentage.

Into his spot went former Aces tender Kevin Nastiuk -- the Aces released Nastiuk in training camp in October. Nastiuk, 24, debuted for Corpus Christi earlier this week with a victory, so he's 1-0-0 with a 2.00 and .931.
