The American Hockey League today announced the following suspensions:

From his standout play and AHL Rookie of the Month honors to a successful marriage proposal, Brogan Rafferty had an impressive December.

Bridgeport forward Kieffer Bellows, Utica defenseman Brogan Rafferty and Chicago goaltender Oscar Dansk have been selected as the league’s award winners for December.

Maybe they’re burning sage in the locker room. Or maybe they’re just avoiding a sophomore slump due to their tireless work, dynamic skills, and newfound level of comfort with the pro game.

A nightmare NHL debut last year gave Michael DiPietro a harsh dose of reality, and has motivated him to get off to a stunning start with the Utica Comets.

Utica’s Reid Boucher, Chicago’s Lucas Elvenes and Hartford’s Igor Shesterkin have been selected as the AHL’s award winners for October.

Utica Comets forward Nikolay Goldobin has been selected as the CCM/AHL Player of the Week for the period ending October 20, 2019.

The Utica Comets hope Sven Baertschi can be a quality addition, however long the talented veteran forward with NHL experience might remain with the team. 

Michael Leighton, one of the most decorated goaltenders in AHL history, announced his retirement Monday.
