Gajewski Traded to Eagles

A goalie decision has been made, as Kyle Gajewski was traded to the Colorado Eagles for future considerations earlier today.

This leaves the Bucks with two rookie netminders, Kevin Desfosses and Pier-Olivier Pelletier on their roster.

Here's the press release:

Bucks Trade Gajewski To Eagles
LAREDO, TX- The Laredo Bucks of the Central Hockey League announced Wednesday that they have traded goaltender Kyle Gajewski to the Colorado Eagles in exchange for future considerations.
 
The 22-year-old Gajewski (pronounced gah-JOO-ski) appeared in 13 games for the Bucks this season posting a 5-5-2 record with a 3.96 G.A.A and a .883 sv. %. Gajewski picked up the Bucks only shutout win of the season on December 17th when he set aside all 33 shots he faced in Laredo’s 2-0 win at Corpus Christi.
 
Gajewski, a native of London, Ontario, stopped 30 or more shots in seven of his 13 appearances this season while giving up five or more goals five times this season.
 
Gajewski was an OHL All-Star in 2007-08 with Sault-Ste Marie, where he set career highs in wins (39), and goals against average (2.44), while going 39-16-4.
 
Last season the 22-year-old Gajewski (pronounce GA-JU-ski) split time between three teams in his rookie year in the ECHL, playing with Cincinnati, Johnstown, and Florida.
 
Gajewski, 5’10, 155 pounds, went a combined 12-11-2 in 29 games last season. He spent the majority of the campaign with Cincinnati, playing in 21 games with a 7-10-1 record, to go along with a 3.82 G.A.A, and a .874 sv. %. Gajewski went 1-1 with Johnstown (3.40 G.A.A, .917 sv. %), and 4-0 with Florida (2.67 G.A.A, .905 sv. %).
 
The London, Ontario native had a stellar four-year junior career with Sault-Ste Marie, where went a combined 114-71-31 with 12 shutouts, three in each of his four seasons.

I'm not surprised; I assume Coach Ruskowski was shopping Gajewski and Pelletier and took the best he could get for either of them with plans to use Desfosses as No. 1 no matter what.

But yes, I am alive. I am, however, having some technical difficulties, so I apologize, but the quotes might have to wait.
