News from Winnipeg; a couple of new PTOs

The Winnipeg Sun has a couple of Aeros articles today looking toward the games against the Moose tonight and tomorrow.

• Aeros Known for Making Opponent Pay Price - about Constantine's influence on the style of the team
• Houston has a Touch of Manitoba - About some of the guys from the area on the team, like Brusty.

I'm looking forward to seeing how the guys do this weekend. First road trip, potential distractions from local family and friends, historically tough teams...

Also, a couple of guys are with the team on tryouts. First is defenseman Jon Insana (I like that name) who is 28 and has been bouncing around the AHL and UHL, but had a pretty good season with Grand Rapids last year.

Second is center Justin Taylor (but not the Washington Ovechkins Capitals prospect by the same name). He's a former Flames draft pick and played in Russia last season... for 3 games, until he tore his MCL and returned to his native Edmonton for surgery and rehab. Now it appears he's looking to get back on the ice, so we'll see what kind of shake he gets with the Aeros.
