2010-2011 Senators in
the Playoffs in 2012…
Just because the 2012 BSens did not make it to the Calder Cup
Playoffs this year we still have to a tie to some that did… In case you
want to know…
Of course there are the OSens:
Jim O’Brien
Kaspers Daugavins
Colin Greening
Bobby Butler
Jared Cowen
Erik Condra
Zack Smith
We had a few BSens join them after the last regular season game…
Mark Borowiecki
Eric Gryba
Stephan DaCosta
David Dziurzynski
Andre Petersson
Patrick Wiercoch
Mica Zibanejad
Some other 2010-2011 BSens went on to new AHL teams and
they made it to the Playoffs once again.
Ryan Kellar with Oklahoma City Barons
Ryan Potulny with Heshey Baers
Mike Brodeur with Houston Aeros
Lastly, some players that previously wore our BSens uniforms
with pride are going for the Kelly Cup in the ECHL in 2012.
Corey Cowick with Elmira
Bobby Raymond with the Florida Everblades
Yannick Tifu with the Reading Royals
I believe that Geoff Kinrade went on to the playoffs with his team
in Europe also!
While we all love a repeat we certainly wish all these players and
ALL previous Binghamton Hockey Team Alum the best in their future
endeavors!!!! Keep Rolling Boys!
Have A G ood S ummer!!
S ee Y ou Next Fall
Thank You
I wish to thank all those who helped me through the
year. For decorations I had a lot of help from Ronn
Winn & David Spence. I couldn’t have done it without
their help & want them to know they were appreciated. On the Jersey Raffle Melody & Scott Correll manned
the back table at every game & at the front table my
right hand was Eric Brom. I really appreciated all the
help given to me by them. Also Clara Groover helped
during the 2nd intermission until she hurt her hand
& wasn’t available anymore. Sometimes we were
really busy & without their help I would have missed
a lot of sales. Also thanks to Ron Winn who filled
in when Eric had a game & couldn’t make it to the
arena. As usual everyone was ready to make cookies
for the bus when I asked them. I really appreciated the help
especially when my oven was
on the fritz.. Thanks to Will Platt
& Lela Whitehead, Snooky & Don
Chandler, Edna & Charlene Coates, Cindy
Lee, Kay Orr, Andrea Stover, Pat Dyer & Cheryl Utyro. If I missed anyone I’m sorry & I want you to know you
were all appreciated. Without your help we would not
have accomplished as much as we did. You are all
vital to the booster club & I really appreciated all your
help.
Happy Birthday to the following BSens…

Raffle Chairpersons
If you weren’t in attendance at our annual awards banquet on April 11 at the Holiday Inn Arena you missed
a good time. All the players, coaches and trainers were there. Grady Whittenburg was our MC and did a great
job as usual. We presented each of them with a Reebok duffle bag with their names embroidered on them. Dick
Havich and Gene Wells presented the awards, voted on by the members, to the winners. Congratulations to Ron
Winn for being selected as the member of the year. It was well deserved. Jen Stover won a Sens jersey donated by
the club. Many other members won various Sens items that were donated by the Senators. Our thanks to them. Kay Orr won the 50/50. Everyone in attendance received a Sens memo pad with a calculator. My thanks to the committee, Cindy Lee, Lori Baker, Lorraine Ostrowsky, Tiffany Ostrowsky and Mike Prozeralik
who volunteered to help out. They worked very hard to make it a success. They made special Sens hockey candle
centerpieces and framed team collages that were given away. They put together gifts for the coaches wives and
decorated cute t-shirts for the players and trainers children.
It was a fun night for everyone. We had several guests from the office and our arena announcer, Steve Shimer. Joy Lindsay, from the Press, also attended. Hopefully next year more of our members will be able to attend. We
would love to have you help us celebrate the hockey season.
