Comets Ricky Wells

Only Josh Grajczonek and Ricky Wells came away from the meeting with a decent return of points for Workington.

The highly impressive Grajczonek scored 14 points and Wells amassed 10 points.

Workingtons reserve pair Chris Mills and Ashley Morris scored only four points between them, while Berwicks reserves picked up a combined 12 points.

Berwick reserve Steen Jensen was in superb form and was rewarded with 11 points from his six rides.

Workington team manager Tony Jackson was left to rue his sides lack of consistency this season.

He said: That was not part of the plan. We are just not consistent. We just never got into this meeting at all. We didnt win enough races. We went away to Newcastle and Glasgow and won and looked really good, but then we lose a match like this.

There is no consistency. I wish I knew the answer. The team we have put together looks stronger than last year, but its just not happening. We will dust ourselves down, move on and try to do better away at Berwick.

Comets Corner: Anton Cederholm

Posted on by

May 24, 2014 - American Hockey League (AHL) Utica Comets Earlier this week, the Canucks announced the signing of Anton Cederholm, a defenseman from Helsingborg, Sweden. The 19-year old was drafted 145th overall (fifth round) during the 2013 NHL Draft.

After starting his professional career in Sweden, the 6'2" 214 lb defenseman spent this past season playing for the Portland Winterhawks of the WHL, who Utica Comets head coach Travis Green coached for part of the 2012-13 season. Cederholm helped take the Winterhawks to the finals, where they lost the title of WHL Champions to the Edmonton Oil Kings. Progressing into the playoffs gave Vancouver scouts time to look at and assess Cederholm's game before making the decision to sign him to a contract.

Despite being 6'2", Cederholm moves well for his size while still remaining an enforcer on the ice. According to those who followed his play this past season, he has fully adjusted to the bigger North American ice and now knows how to best position himself to set up his teammates. He finished up the 2012-13 regular season with a +42 rating and finished playoffs with 5 points (2-3-5). While he still has time to go before playing in the AHL, it is without a doubt that Cederholm will be an asset to the Canucks organization.
