CaNaDiaN BLueLiNeR Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 I was just looking at the Portland Pirates 2003-2004 roster and noticed Kevin's name wasn't listed. Just wondering if anyone knows if he is with a different team now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjk427 Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 http://www.redwingscentral.com link: Free agents look for pro contracts The Detroit Red Wings have invited 11 free agent tryouts to training camp this season. Over the years, the organization has signed a number of valuable players through this approach, including Sean Avery and Jason Williams. Others could end up earning AHL contracts with Grand Rapids or ECHL deals with Toledo. Here is a look at the free agent tryouts at this year's camp (excluding Igor Larionov and Derek King): Kevin SPIEWAK, 5-10, 180, C, 42-15-14-29-45, North Dakota (NCAA): Spiewak, 24, finished four years at the University of North Dakota last season and played three games with Portland (AHL) on an amateur tryout contract. He is in search of a pro contract for 2003-04. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagies Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 Good for Kevin. The Wings might become my second favorite team if they are careful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willki Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 Kevin is Signed by the South Carolina Stingrays of the ECHL. Press release: http://www.echlinsider.com/modules.php?op=...article&sid=708 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speez Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 Check out the Redwings Training Camp Rosters. Redwings Rosters The Goalie on Team A that Kevin is on may be as good as Karl. A couple of other pretty good players on that team as well. I'd put my money on that team winning the tourney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprig Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 So Hasek is back. Interesting Team D also, with Skarperud on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jk Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 Pasted from a Hockey's Future write-up: ---------------------------------------------- Today was the fourth day of Detroit Red Wings training camp and the last day of scrimmages before the teams face off for the championship games Tuesday night. The eleven tryout players continue to try to impress the Red Wings management for a contract before the regular season starts. Four have caught Ken Holland's eye this week: Carson Germyn, John Shouneyia, David Brisson, and Kevin Spiewak. "Spiewak has speed and is very competitive" said Holland, "but Brisson has scored four goals this week which has put him a little ahead of the rest." Brisson is tied for second place in scoring with Tomas Holmstrom with six points. Brendan Shanahan is in first place with seven points. The team standings after today's games are as follows: Team W L T Team A 3 - 0 - 1 Team B 3 - 1 - 0 Team C 0 - 2 - 2 Team D 0 - 3 - 1 Teams A and B will play for the gold with teams C and D playing for the bronze. The same pairing of teams faced off on Monday morning with Team A winning 3-1 over Team B and Team D winning 4-2 over Team C. Jason Williams scored the first goal for Team A at 11:35 of the first period against tryout Jeff MacDougald. Danny Groulx and Hugo Boisvert had the assists. Spiewak put Team A by two at 20:54 of the first with Brisson and Jimmy Cuddihy picking up the assists. Groulx scored the final goal for Team A at 23:02 with Grand Rapids Griffin's player Aaron Schneekloth getting the assist. Travis Richards scored the only goal for Team B against Dominik Hasek with a slapshot from the blueline. Pavel Datsyuk had the assist. Team D then took on Team C, beating them by a score of 4-2. Matt Ellis gave Team D the lead scoring the first goal at 6:14 of the first period with a slapshot from along the boards beating Marc Lamothe over the glove shoulder. Scott Horvath and Chris Chelios had the assists. Michel Picard tied the game up three minutes later scoring on Drew MacIntyre with a cross ice pass from Jason Wooley at 9:26 of the first. Shanahan took the lead back at 13:07 poking Jiri Hudler's rebound past Lamothe. Horvath scored at 16:46 to finish the first period scoring. Tomas Fleischmann and Ellis assisted on the goal. Kevin Miller scored Team C's second and final goal against Joey MacDonald on Anders Myrvold's rebound at 14:04 of the second period. With 49 seconds left in the game, Shanahan scored in the empty net with an assist from Tomas Holmstrom making the final score 4-2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jk Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 The Red Wings released Kevin yesterday as they cut their roster down, but I'm guessing he wasn't planning on making the team right off the bat anyway. I think it's a process, and step one is getting a chance and making an impression, which it sounds like he did. Hopefully, he can have a good year below the NHL and continue to progress professionally. Also, in the same camp, this apparently happened: "Tim Skarperud gave the lead to Team D once again at 23:05. Mark Mowers passed the puck across the front of the net to Nathan Robinson who took a shot but was stopped by Hasek. Skarperud jammed the rebound in past Hasek's pads." That last sentence is something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StingrayFan Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 I've been keeping up with both Kevin Spiewak and Aaron Schneekloth in the Red Wings camp because they are both property of the S.C. Stingrays (ECHL) if they don't make an AHL club. It sounds like both had a good camp. Schneekloth is one of the 53 players left in camp. Both guys put up some good numbers in their 5 games. Spiewak - 1 goal, 2 assists, +4 Schneekloth - 2 assists, +6 Here's the link to Team A Stats You can get to the other 3 teams stats from that page also. Skarperud stats were 1 goal, 2 assists, -2 The S.C. Stingrays just love former Sioux players. Signed Spiewak this season. Last season had Aaron Schneekloth, Adam Calder, Brad Williamson, and Peter Armbrust. Who could be next? Go Sioux and Stingrays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoteauRinkRat Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 Way to go Kevin. Good luck! Spiewak was a really fun player to watch develop his skills over his years at UND. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwing77 Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 His first NCAA playoff goal, I believe was vs Maine, shorthanded from the blue line. I nearly lost my contact lenses it was unbelievable. Ugly goal, but then again, the goalie was overrated. Wish I could remember who he was.

Diggler Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 Yates was the Maine goalie, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
