Alessio Bertaggia war bei den Portland Winterhawks bei einem Scrimmage dabei. Anscheinend war er mehr ein Fill-in und hat dabei extrem überzeugt. Da er so auffällig war, wurden die Hawks auch bestraft, da Bertaggia eigentlich gar nicht hätte auf dem Eis sein dürfen.
If you tuned in late, an unidentified player wearing No. 23 lit it up for Team Red in a scrimmage during the Winterhawks’ training camp. The player in question scored three goals and dominated play.
But the Winterhawks never identified the player; in fact, they denied knowing who the player was.

Mal schauen, wie sich die Saison entwickelt bzw. ob er nächsten Sommer im Import-Draft ein Thema wird.


Noch etwas scherzhaft:
The Portland Winterhawks have announced that they are going to retire the number worn by Red No. 23.
The Winterhawks, who compete in the U.S. Division of the 22-team Western Hockey League, announced Saturday that Red No. 23’s number will be hoisted into the rafters at Memorial Coliseum in a ceremony preceding their 2010-11 regular-season home-opener.
Never in the Winterhawks’ long and distinguished history has one player so captivated the imagination of the team’s fans.
“Never have so many paid so much attention to one man,” said team president Doug Piper. “So we have decided it is time to pay the piper.”
Red No. 23 appeared in one scrimmage during the team’s training camp, scored three goals, then rode off into the sunset.
