Last May during the Calder cup semifinals we were fortunate to see a goalie fresh up from the Ontario Hockey League, Cary Price. Hamilton started the 19 year old Price in game one against the heavily favored Chicago Wolves and he was quickly shelled out of the net. In the end Hamilton won the game but the sight of this gifted young goalie facing his first defeat in the AHL was devastating.
It would prove to be one of his last. Hamilton,starting Price in every following game would loose just one more to the Wolves in the semifinals and then go on to beat the Hershey Bears for the AHL's Calder Cup. Hamilton has emerged from the 06' season with two things, a lovely set of championship rings for their team and a young golaie in Carey Price who's "future is so bright he has to wear shades"
