Myre Mired In Coaching Position
ROCHESTER—To many, before he was recalled by the Buffalo Sabres in March, he was last season’s leading candidate for the American League’s Most Valuable Player award. This season, he has worn the hats of asistant coach, special assignment scout and goaltender coach. But veteran Phil Myre has yet to wear the mask. “Let’s just say I’m still an active player in case of emergency,” Myre said from Rochester, where new coach Joe Crozier was relying exclusively on Jacques Cloutier, who led the Amerks to the Calder Cup last season while Myre backed-up Bob Sauve in Buffalo during the Stanley Cup playoffs.

Series Against Team USA Foreshadows Sarajevo
On Oct. 16, there was lots of excitement as we prepared for our first of 12 games against Team USA. The game was in Duluth, and ended in a 3-3 tie. It was probably one of our best efforts this year. The Americans are as big and fast as the scouting reports indicated. Wendell Young played well in his second game in goal for us. October 17 We travel to Minneapolis to get ready for the game at the Met Centre in Bloomington. There’s lots of hockey interest in this area about Team USA.
