The Colorado Avalanche Hockey Club announced Sunday that it has recalled forward Cody McLeod from the Lake Erie Monsters, the team’s American Hockey League affiliate.

McLeod, 23, has registered 13 points (6g/7a) in 27 games with the Monsters. The 6-2, 210-pound native of Binscarth, Manitoba leads the Monsters with 101 penalty minutes.

Signed as a free agent by the Avalanche in July 2006, McLeod played in 73 games last season with Albany (AHL), tallying 19 points (11g/8a) and 180 penalty minutes.

On the same day I read this article from the ECHL site: http://www.echl.com/cgi-bin/mpublic.cgi?action=show_news&cat=1&id=13098

great....another one plucked away. Is there any idea if Hensick is coming back or any of the other players that have been called up returning to the Monsters anytime soon?.

Hensick and Cumiskey are doing quite well for the Av's, I don't think they'll be coming back anytime soon. They are both signed to the NHL and they were pretty much here to get their feet wet until they were ready for the transition.

Gotcha. Thank you for the info. Hope the Monsters can find some offense in other places then since those two won't be likely to return.

Cody Fan here. I knew him from his days with the Adirondack Frostbite. Anyone have any Pictures of him ect?? Also i would love to get a program team photo ect of the team out there can anyone help? Im in River Rats country.

I sincerely wish LEM would play the river rats this season. Albany has the single best jersey mascot in all of hockey.
