Nelson released from his tryout

One day after signing a professional tryout with the Tucson Roadrunners, Logan Nelson (Victoria 2011-14) was released from his professional tryout and will return to Rapid City. He did not even dress for a game.

Nelson, a center from Rogers, MN has 49 points (18G-31A) in 45 games with the Rush. He is in his second stint with the Roadrunners where he has no points in five games.

Kneen returned to Allen

Nolan Kneen (Kamloops, Saskatoon 2014-20) was returned to the Allen Americans by the Charlotte Checkers after they released him from his second tryout with the Checkers. The 22-year-old defender has played 18 games with the Checkers where he notched six points (1G-5A). Before his professional tryout, he was with the Allen Americans of the ECHL where he had nine points (3G-6A) in 16 games.

Nachbaur reassigned to Swamp Rabbits

21-year-old Justin Nachbaur (Prince Albert 2017-21) has been returned to the Greenville Swamp Rabbits (ECHL) by the Charlotte Checkers (AHL). He played six games with the Checkers and was held off the scoresheet. In nine games with the Swamp Rabbits, Nachbaur has seven points (4G-3A).

The four-year DUB veteran from Cross Lake, MB played his entire career with the Raiders where he played 216 games collecting 89 points (45G-44A) along the way.

A lifelong season ticket holder for the Regina Pats. His fascination with the Pats became an obsession at around 16-years of age when he stumbled across an old published list of ALL-TIME REGINA PATS SCORING and GOALTENDING. The list that was published was incomplete and that was not acceptable to him. Over the last 20-plus years, he has done what he can to finish that list and continues to try to complete the history of the Pats. He is an unofficial Pats historian.
