Beaver County's Mike Weber gets the call from the Buffalo Sabres
"From Randy (Cunneyworth) and Darcy (Regier), my understanding is that he has been playing a physical game, has been solid defensively, has been a plus player down there," said head Ruff, referring to Weber's performance in Rochester. "Right now he's been the guy that they've really liked and really like the way he's played.
"The game we played him up here, we've really like his presence and his composure." Weber started last season with the Windsor Spitfires of the Ontario Hockey League, before being dealt to the Barrie Colts at the OHL trade deadline.
In a combined 60 games with Windsor and Barrie, Weber posted career highs in goals (6), assists (28) and points (34), along with 172 PIMs. He also contributed six points (0+7) in seven playoff games.

Quaker Valley's Furman South, the leader of the 2006 Pennsylvania State Champion Quakers has been playing with the Bay State Breakers of the Eastern Junior Hockey League over the past few seasons and plans to attend college locally at Robert Morris University. Joining the Colonials and fellow Western Pa Hockey's Peters Twp's Eric Trax, Kiski's Sean Berketresser and Shadyside Academy product and Penn Hills native Karac Davis, South graduated in 2006 from Quaker Valley and moves on to Collegiate Hockey to play in the same arena where his Quakers captured the State Championship a little over a year ago. Congratulations to Furman South and good luck !
