News from Corpus

The Corpus Christi IceRays have announced their first signings for the upcoming season, re-inking four players from last year's Rayz squad.

These returnees are forward Justin Quenneville, defenseman Chris Mei, left wing Adam Powell and winger Chris Shaffer, who played the end of last season with the Youngstown Steelhounds after starting out with the Rayz.

Here is the story on the Quenneville signing from last Friday, and here is the story about the other three, who were all re-signed on Monday.

In other news, coming out of Corpus only in its online dispersion by Greg Rajan, the new PHPA-approved veteran limit will stand at four...but goaltenders will not count toward that limit. We'll see how many teams take advantage of that.

UPDATE: The IceRays announced their first new signing for the upcoming season today in defenseman T.J. Reynolds. Rajan has more on that here and a story here.
