Thanks to a blog reader for drawing this to my attention. Great stuff from former Bronco Dale Weise. I figure he's about due for an NHL call-up.------
The American Hockey League today named Wolf Pack right-wing Dale Weise the Reebok AHL Player of the Week for this past week. He is the first Wolf Pack player to win the award this season.
Weise scored goals in all four of the Wolf Pack’s games on the week, totaling five goals, the longest goal-scoring streak by a Pack player thus far this year.
In Wednesday night's game against Lowell in Newark, NJ, a 3-2 defeat, Weise's goal at 6:43 of the third period tied the score at two, after the Pack had entered the third session down 2-0. The second-year pro then notched his third two-goal game of the season Friday night, in a 5-2 win in Worcester, earning Third-Star honors. Saturday night in Albany, Weise netted his fourth shorthanded goal of the season, which was the only Hartford tally in a 3-1 loss. Weise then finished the week with a power-play goal in Sunday's 2-1 overtime win at Providence.
With six goals and an assist in his last six games, Weise has upped his totals on the year to 15-14-29 in 41 games, good for second on the Wolf Pack team in goals and third in points. A 6-2, 209-pound native of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Weise, 21, was a fourth-round draft pick of the parent New York Rangers in 2008.

I am curious where Verdino will be playing as he is capable of playing forward as well as defense. We now have 8 defensemen and 13 forwards or 7 defensemen and 14 forwards (depending if you slot Verdino in a d or at forward). I guess Tuesday we will see.
Good for Dale I agree he will be the next call up forward to the Rangers.
Send our congatulations on to Dale.He was one of our favorite Broncos and also our favorite hockey school coach!! We still keep track of him on the wolfpack site
He will be on our pre-game show tomorrow night before the Broncos/Hurricanes game
