Wednesday "Reeding"

Here's a story the Loveland Reporter Herald's Adam Dunivan wrote about Konrad Reeder's trials and tribulations in Europe this past summer.

It touches a bit more on the family side, although it seems like fact-checking is optional at the Reporter Herald, and I mean no offense to Dunivan in saying this. That's what copy editors are for. Still...

Reeder signed with a Dutch team, the Frederikshavn White Hawks, soon after
the 2007-08 CHL season was over and spent the entire summer getting his wife,
Katie, and young son, Wyatt, settled into their new environment.

After scoring 108 points last season with the New Mexico Scorpions, which was
second in the league behind Leavitt (128), expectations were high coming in.
After all, he scored 41 goals the prior season and was the All-Star game most
valuable player
, to boot.


Not to be picky or anything, but Frederikshavn is based out of Denmark, not the Netherlands, and Leavitt was the all-star game MVP for the South, not Reeder (Scott Wray picked up the honors for the north)
