Pro Hockey Notes (Europe +)

This week's edition will again feature former Clarkson goalie David Leggio, who took a brief hiatus from his TPS Turku team in Finland to represent the U.S. in the Deutschland Cup.

The Americans went 2-1 and finished in second place. Every game ended in a shootout.

Leggio played in two games and stopped 55 of 59 shots, for a .932 save percentage.

His goals-against average was 2.44 and he had a 1-1 record in shootouts. He was the winning goalie in a 3-2 shootout against Switzerland on Nov. 7 and he split time with former Cornell goalie Jean-Marc Pelletier in a 3-2 shootout loss to Slovakia.

Here's some highlights of Leggio's game against Switzerland:

Odds and Ends

Shawn Weller is the captain of the Bakersfield Condors of the East Coast Hockey League (don't ask me to explain how Bakersfield, Calif., is in an East Coast league). ... One of Weller's teammates is former Clarkson goalie Tim Potter, who has not seen action yet. ... Jean Desrochers started the year with the Quad City Mallards of the International Hockey League but is no longer on the active roster. I have not been able to locate where he's playing. ... Chris D'Alvise is off to a strong start with Stockton of the ECHL. He had a hat trick on Nov. 1 in a 5-2 win over Victoria and was interviewed recently:
