Ice Scoopz: Wednesday Morning

*-> Former Montreal Canadien and Colorado Avalanche David Aebischer is attempting an NHL comeback sources have said. It's reported that the netminder has been contacted by the Winnipeg Jets about a possible training camp invitations.

*-> Igor Makarov from the Rockford Ice Hogs has reportedly told Blackhawk management he wishes to be loaned to the KHL if he doesn't crack the Hawk roster. SKA St. Petersberg is reportedly interested.

*-> Jon Sim has joined HC Paradubice of the Czech Extraliga leaving Gotteron of the Swiss league.

*-> A crazy rumour has broken the past few days involving retired NHLer Paul Kariya. Many are saying Kariya is contemplating an offer from the Nikko Icebucks of the Asian Hockey League. Kariya retired this off season but reportedly has been pondering playing low level hockey to help boost the game in Asia due to his background. I feel it's a long shot but who knows.

*-> While on Asian hockey former Pittsburgh Penguin Ric Jackman left the Czech Extraliga and headed to Asia to play for Anyang Halla.

*-> A rumor broke last week in the OHL with Soo Greyhounds star Dan Catenacci after he reportedly demanded a trade. The Niagra Ice Dogs have high interest in the player and a deal concerning Niagra Ice Dog 1st round draft pick Adam Bateman.
