The Express picked up a new forward today, via a trade with the Chicago Steel of the USHL. His name is Charlie Thauwald, and he is from Rochester, Minnesota. He is a 1990 birth year, and is listed at 6'2" and 210 lbs. He has tallied just one assist this season, but is only a -1 on a struggling Steel team. He is currently ranked #14 in the USHL in penalty minutes, and has dropped the gloves 6 times this season in 28 games.
Thauwald in action:
My take: The Express needed a big, tough guy, and Coach Cullen went and found one. I honestly don't know much about him, but look forward to seeing him on the ice this weekend at the 4 Seasons Centre.
Speaking of this weekend: The Express play a huge pair of games this weekend. Friday night against the team we are chasing in the standings (Bismarck), and Saturday night against the team that is chasing us (Alexandria). With a couple of nice wins last weekend in Mason City under the belt, our favorite junior hockey team has won 6 of their last 8 games, and will be looking to make that 8 of the last 10.
See you at the rink.
