Huska getting older/Jobke graduates

  • Happy birthday to Rockets head coach Ryan Huska. Huska was born July 2, 1975. That would make Huska 35 years-old today.

  • Rockets forward Mitchell Callahan tells me he is skating twice a week these days. Callahan, who signed a contract with the Detroit Redwings in May, has also been hanging out with teammate Adam Brown. I guess it only makes sense considering Brown lives in Yorba Linda, California while Callahan is 30 minutes away in Whittier, California.

  • It's not often I make contact with a former Rockets player still playing in the league, but Curt Gogol sent me a message the other day. Gogol was passed over in this summers NHL draft, but considering he was injured and traded all in the same season, scouts thought they would pass on the gritty forward. Lets hope Gogol can get a tryout with some NHL team this fall and show what he can do when he laces it up with the pro's. There appears to be interest from several teams to bring him into camp as a free agent.

  • Here's an update on defenseman Colton Jobke. Jobke is enjoying his summer like never before. Why? Jobke has just graduated from high school. Jobke has been busy skating twice and week and training six days a week. I found it interesting that following the hockey season he spent a couple of months detailing boats that would then be shipped down to California where they would be auctioned off.

Regan, t'as mentionné que Colton Jobke a gradué ce juin, mais il y en a plusieurs joueurs qui sont aussi finis l'école cette année, n'est-ce pas? On croyait que Chikie devrait y être terminer aussi. Il est plus agée que Colton.
