Long makes the cut

Never say never, but it looks like Colin Long's days with the Kelowna Rockets are over. The San Antonio Rampage made several roster moves today by sending no less than seven players down to the ECHL and releasing five players in time for Friday's AHL home opener. I anticipate the Rampage/Coyotes offering Long a contract this week considering he can't play unless he has a pro contract in his pocket in time for the regular season. One of the players released by the Rampage today was Osoyoos resident Mitch Fritz.
