The Bucks have signed rookie netminder Mark Sibbald to back up and/or compete with Kyle Gajewski while Jean-Philippe Levasseur is playing with the Springfield Falcons of the AHL.
Sibbald had been playing with the Southern Professional Hockey League's Huntsville Havoc this season.
He arrived in Laredo late last night and is making the trip to Corpus Christi with the team today in preparation for Thursday's game against the IceRays.
You can get a little more information about Sibbald from his Pointstreak profile.
Playing in the SPHL this season, Sibbald had a record of 10-0-2 and led the league in goals-against average at 1.61 and save percentage at .951.
The numbers are all very impressive, but we'll see what he can do in the CHL.
When I spoke to Coach Ruskowski about Gajewski (2-3-1) yesterday, he said he had every confidence that he could get the job done in Levasseur's absence, but I'm guessing Sibbald will get a chance to show what he's got eventually.
UPDATE: Okay, apparently Sibbald's plane was held up because of the rainy weather here today, and he wasn't able to go with the team to Corpus, so he'll be joining them later tonight. Or at least Ruskowski hopes so.
