Prospects in the Everblades

October 17, 2008 - By

The Florida Everblades are the ECHL affiliate of the Florida Panthers and Carolina Hurricanes.  They are also the AHL affiliate of the Rochester Americans and Albany River Rats.

The Everblades start their 08/09 regular season on Friday night against the Charlotte Checkers.  Incidentally, the Checkers just sign Amerks alumni Sean McMorrow.

A number of players on this years Amerks roster spent time last season with the Everblades, including Franklin MacDonald, Tyler Plante, Dan Collins, Kenndal McArdle, Jordan Henry, and Peter Aston.

The number of players associated with the Everblades this season is lighter as the Panthers are the sole affiliate of the Amerks.  While sharing an affiliation with the Sabres last season in Rochester, they were able to keep many players with the Everblades.

The Panthers only prospect currently slated to play with the Everblades is James DeLory.  DeLory is currently recovering from a concussion, once he’s healed from that he will officially be on the Blades roster.

Jacob Micflikier was invited to Amerks camp and was reassigned to the Everblades.

Yannick Tifu is also playing for the Everblades this season, he was signed to a PTO towards the end of the 07/08 season with the Amerks.  He played in [...]Read More

April 26, 2008 - By

Goaltender Tyler Plante is currently in Florida having surgery.  One can only assume it is on his shoulder that was ailing him throughout the end of the season.

Sekera, Kaleta, Weber, Plante, Beaverson

April 6, 2008 - By

Patrick Kaleta, Andrej Sekera, and Mike Weber were all returned to the Amerks in what could be the last transaction ever between the two teams.  Kaleta played Sunday against the Crunch, Weber was given the night off.  Andrej Sekera did not rejoin the Amerks though as he joined Team Slovakia in the World Championships.

As previously reported, Tyler Plante also rejoined the Amerks after filling the spot of backup goalie for the Florida Panthers in there last game of the season.

Luke Beaverson was released from his ATO.  He’s still property of the Florida Panthers and we can probably expect to see him back next season.

Plante Recalled; Janosz Signed

April 6, 2008 - By

Tyler Plante was recalled for the Florida Panthers last game of the season on Saturday.  Plante should be back for Sundays game and the remainder of the season.  Bob Janosz (current goalie coach) was signed to a PTO as the backup goalie.  A sure sign of how the season as gone as the goalie coach is our backup, why hasn’t Jason Cipolla suited up yet?

Tyler Plante Recalled to Amerks

December 20, 2007 - By

Goaltender Tyler Plante was recalled to the Amerks on 12/19 from the ECHL Florida Everblades.  No word on if he’ll be playing or if Shantz is being sent elsewhere.

New Goalie Helmet for Tyler Plante

December 19, 2007 - By

Goaltender Tyler Plante recently had his helmet painted and is quite possibly the most amusing of any professional goalie.  While many goalies go for art work featuring details about the team and city they play in, Tyler dedicated his helmet to “the funniest man alive,” and two of his favorite movies, Blades of Glory and Talladega Nights.

The helmet was painted by professional Dan Lessard who has painted a lot of goalie masks, check out his web site to see more of his work.

Tylers favorite quote is, “if you ain’t, first you’re last.”  He said he hasn’t quoted Will Ferrell at all during games, but we encourage him to do so.

Tyler Plante is a prospect of the Florida Panthers who is currently playing in the ECHL for the Florida Everblades.  He played one game this season for the Amerks, but we’re expecting to see more of him in Rochester before the end of the season.
