Chris Vandevelde played half that time and took on a lot less responsibility, so it’s no surprise that Laughton’s still on the roster today while Vandevelde’s catching a car up to Glens Falls….
PHILADELPHIA — All the logic points to Samuel Morin starting and ending the 2013-14 hockey season with his junior club, Rimouski of the QMJHL.
