It's nice to be able to move this thread back to the current team forum.

Shep looked very good out there tonight.

Doug Shepherd worked out with the team.

Shepherd, a 25-year-old Canadian from Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, is versatile.

"He can play all three forward positions and defense," Martino said. "He is a smart player. You don't play all those positions, if you're not."

The 5-foot-10 Shepherd, who weighs 185, had a banner year as a rookie with Amarillo (Central Hockey League) in 2000-01.

"He had 17 goals and played a third of that season (2000-01) on defense," Martino said.

Doug Shepherd scored a goal in his Ice Bears' debut. The other Knoxville goals came on power plays, courtesy of Gatis Tseplis.

Thanks for posting that Kathy! You know I had been worried about Dougie. I am so happy he is feeling better.

Doug Shepherd (abscessed tonsil) was released from the hospital but didn't practice. He probably won't return until next week

Poor Doug

Doug Shepherd, who was suspended by Martino for three days last Friday, apparently isn't on the hot seat because a trade with Jacksonville, involving the forward, has fallen through.

Poor Doug, this just hasn't been his season.

Ice Bears forward Shepherd will miss trip to Jacksonville

The Knoxville Ice Bears will be without Doug Shepherd for their Atlantic Coast Hockey League game tonight at Jacksonville, while the Barracudas will be minus their coach and a goalie.

Shepherd, who suffered a severely bruised upper left thigh in a 7-1 victory over Cape Fear on Saturday, didn't practiced this week. At first, it was feared the forward had a broken leg.

The Ice Bears play at Cape Fear on Friday. Shepherd could return for Saturday's game against the first-place Orlando Seals at Civic Coliseum.

At least it wasn't broken and he will be back soon. I hope he at least is having a good time in Knoxville.

I missed this one.

The season-ending injury to Doug Shepherd left a void filled at least temporarily by Mike Murray. Martino hasn't ruled out a permanent replacement.

You know how I hate to hear that. Dougie will always be one of my all time favorites. Hope he can play again if he decides to.

Ice Bears have some unfinished business

Doug Shepherd won't be coming back next season. The forward, who sustained a concussion and missed the playoffs, told Martino he was retiring.
