Former Clarkson Defenseman Rufenach Passes Away

Bryan Rufenach, who played collegiately at Clarkson University, died recently while traveling abroad in Switzerland, according to NHL.com. The cause was electrocution, according to mlive.com.

Rufenach was drafted in the seventh round by the Detroit Red Wings in 2007, just before he enrolled at Clarkson after playing junior hockey with Lindsay (OPJHL).  In four seasons in Potsdam, Rufenach tallied 21 goals and 34 assists for 55 points to go with 121 penalty minutes in 136 games.

His best campaign with the Golden Knights came in 2009-10, when he notched 5-1520 points. As a freshman, he helped Clarkson to the ECAC regular-season title, along with its last NCAA Tournament berth to date.

A native of Barrie, Ont., the six-foot, 192-pound blueliner turned pro with Toledo (ECHL) in 2010-11, collecting a goal and an assist in six games. Rufenach, 23, split last season between Toledo and Grand Rapids (AHL), recording 13-2225 points and 45 PIM in all.

"The entire team's thoughts and prayers are with Bryan's family as they get through this difficult time," said Toledo head coach Nick Vitucci. "Bryan was a great teammate and would play any role asked of him."

  1. This central section is instructive with regard to the development of landslides, the use of and failure of sea defences. It is also a good area to see the Pleistocene gravel at the top of the cliff and the yellow, oxidised Barton Sands or Becton Sand Formation. Apart from geologists it is of interest to geography students, environmental science students and civil engineering students. (Black Michael Kors Backpack Purse)

    Fantasy Players To Watch: Brady has shown no sign of drop off, even at 41, but loss of offensive weapons like Amendola and Cooks and 25 percent of season from Edelman could hurt value. Don't let Edelman fall too far down draft boards just because of four game suspension; Hogan could also be in for increased targets as de facto No. 1 wideout.

    But Leslie fell victim, as most bubble players do, to the numbers game. The Broncos have four receivers (Emmanuel Sanders, Demaryius Thomas, Courtland Sutton, DaeSean Hamilton) locked into spots, and two others (Tim Patrick, Isaiah McKenzie) fighting for placement. He understands better than most that every rep counts and sometimes it just not enough.. (Michael Kors Black And Gold Leather Purse)
