Teddy Purcell heads West

Former Maine standout Teddy Purcell earned the first NHL call-up of his career last night by the L.A. Kings.

The struggling Kings (17-27-2) play the Edmonton Oilers on the road tonight at 9 p.m. Eastern.

Purcell had scored 53 points in 40 games for the King's American Hockey League affiliate Manchester (N.H.) Monarchs, good for third in the AHL, first among rookies.

He was also named a starter for the Canadian team at the upcoming AHL All-Star Classic.

Read the Kings press release here.

about Jenn and this blog

Jenn covers the University of Maine for the Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram.

A former Portland Pirates beat writer who has covered two winter Olympics for the paper, she will tackle the Maine beat for a fourth year this season.

She has the empty coffee cups, and turnpike mileage receipts littering her
excellent-gas-mileage
Honda Civic to prove it.

Though she is a graduate of rival New Hampshire, she almost never thinks of that 1999 hockey game anymore.
