My interview with Alex Wellman:

Alex Wellman brings full package to Kansas City: http://icemusings.com/blog/wellman-brings-full-package-to-kansas-city/

I just noticed that Luke Ferrante (M4) withdrew and the 1st alt replaced him. Anyone know why?

He is a very nice young man and I always enjoy watching him.
