Agent pans accusations
An Edmonton Sun expose on agent Rich Winter is “riddled with inaccuracies,” and not worth getting upset about, the player representative said. Written by Edmonton Oilers’ beat writer and THN correspondent Dan Barnes, the three-day, seven-page series delved into the conflicts and legal battles of the high-profile agent. Involved were players such as Petr Klima, Grant Fuhr and Esa Tikkanen. Barnes said he has documentation to back his claims. The most serious accusation reported by The Sun was The Law Society of Alberta laying four charges against Winter, including breach of his oath of secrecy. The charges stem mainly from tactics Winter allegedly used against former clients Josef Beranek and Martin Rucinsky after they fired him. Winter said he was at no time disciplined by the Law Society, nor required to file a…
Questions abound for Devils
Stanley Cup dynasty or one-year wonder? It’s the question that gets asked every time a team wins its first championship. And while it’s too early to tell which category the New Jersey Devils will fall into, forward Bobby Carpenter is willing to give his two cents on the subject. “This is not a talented team. It’s an emotional, disciplined, well-coached team,” Carpenter said. “For a team with as little talent as we have to win again next year by playing with this level of emotion would be the toughest thing ever to accomplish. “Would I like it to happen again? Yes. But we’re not the Edmonton Oilers of the past. For us to do this again would be next to impossible.” Nor can you expect to keep a Stanley Cup winner together without parting…

Bullfrogs pack McSorley punch
His style of roller hockey is not fancy or pretty to watch. Chris McSorley likes to have his players crashing the opposition when at all possible and charging the net when one of his players has the puck. Skill and speed are here with all the flying bodies, and so is McSorley. McSorley, brother of the Los Angeles Kings’ Marty, is the director of player personnel for the Anaheim Bullfrogs. He’s considered by many to be the top coach and front office man in Roller Hockey International. McSorley’s teams have won the only two RHI titles. Last season he coached the Buffalo Stampede over the Portland Rage. In 1993, he led the Bullfrogs past the Oakland Skates. This year he’s not behind the bench in Anaheim, but his influence is strong with coach Grant Sonier.…
