ST. JOHNS, N.L. -- Two new players in the St. Johns IceCaps lineup werent enough to slow down the Springfield Falcons. Cam Atkinson had two goals and two assists Friday as the Falcons defeated the IceCaps 5-3 in American Hockey League action. Kael Mouillierat and Shawn Weller made their season debuts for St. Johns. Weller, however, is a familiar face as he suited up for the IceCaps in 41 games last season. "It feels good to be back, but I wish we could have won the game tonight," said Weller. "I felt alright, but its a lot faster than the (ECHL) but a couple games, a little bit of adjustment, it felt pretty good." Springfield entered the game with a dominant 6-1-1 record on the road, which was a cause for concern for a St. Johns team that has split every home series this season, going 6-5-1. Weller says the chemistry with his teammates should come quickly. "I know a lot of the guys from last year," he said. "So Im just trying to do what I can: get pucks deep, get to the front of the net." Jonathan Audy-Marchessault had a goal and an assist while Ryan Craig and Nick Drazenovic scored for Springfield (13-4-4). Dalton Prout added two assists. The IceCaps (11-11-1) had goals from Mouillierat, Kevin Clark and Ray Sawada. St. Johns rallied back to tie the game at 3-3 in the third, but could not hold on to push the game to overtime. Sawada scored the tying-goal on a breakaway at 13:31. "It was a great pass by (Zach Redmond), and I was lucky enough that I could get some separation from the D. I celebrated pretty hard, I was pretty excited. It made it 3-3 and gave us a chance, but unfortunately some bounces didnt go our way and we had some let-downs in our own zone." The IceCaps went 0 for 6 on the power play, while Springfield was 1 for 4. St. Johns head coach Keith McCambridge liked what he saw on the power play, despite the lack of scoring. "That one unit has, the last couple games, generated a ton of scoring chances for us. Redmond hit a post in the second, we hit three posts in the third with that unit, theyre doing everything that were asking them to do on those units." McCambridge does not plan on making any line-up changes for tomorrows rematch with the Falcons. "Well go with the same line-up, I really liked our push-back in the third period." nba holdjersey .

Mooseheads owner Bobby Smith confirmed to TSN on Friday that the team has been notified, while a spokesman for the group said it will be the, "first of many." The Globe and Mail and QMI Agency reported Thursday and Friday that the group, led in part by former NHLer Georges Laraque, sent CHL president David Branch, Hockey Canada president Bob Nicholson and every Canadian Hockey League team a six-page letter regarding, "blatant disregard for the bare minimum working standards that have been set for employees." "In reality, the players dont want to fight in court against the owners to have minimum wage," Laraque told QMI Agency on Friday. "They simply want the best possible conditions." The letter charges that the playyers are not paid minimum wage and are not given overtime or vacation pay, among several allegations that junior hockey breaches the Employment Standards Act in Ontario.dddddddddddd The CHL released a statement Friday afternoon saying the leagues teams always acted in accordance with provincial and federal laws. "The CHL vehemently disagrees with the recent allegations made by Georges Laraque on behalf of the Canadian Hockey League Players Association (CHLPA)," the statement said. "Mr. Laraque, knows better than anyone, the investment that we make in each of our players and our commitment to ensuring that the players amateur hockey experience is maximized."
