JULY FIRST WAS A DAY WE THOUGHT WE MIGHT HAVE A BETTER IDEA OF WHO WILL BE PLAYING FOR THE JACKALS THIS COMING SEASON.

     WELL, WE DO, BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT'S BY PROCESS OF ELMINATION.

     PAUL MCILVEEN WILL NOT BE BACK IN ELMIRA.

     INSTEAD, HE'LL BE PLAYING WITH THE FREIBURG WOLVES IN GERMANY.

     THE JACKALS ACQUIRED MCILVEEN IN A TRADE EARLY LAST SEASON, AND WHAT A TRADE IT PROVED TO BE.

     MAC PEAKED IN THE PLAYOFFS, LEADING ELMIRA WITH 12 POINTS IN 11 GAMES.

     PAUL WAS ONE OF EIGHT PLAYERS WHO RECEIVED A QUALIFYING OFFER BY THE JULY FIRST DEADLINE, BUT IS THE ONLY ONE WE KNOW WON'T BE RE-SIGNING. HERE'S THE 8 PLAYERS THE JACKALS EXTENDED QUALIFYING OFFERS TO.

 

- PAUL MCILVEEN

- CHRIS KORCHINSKI

- JOSH ASPENLIND

- BRANDON ROACH

- TRAVIS GAWRYLETZ

- GUILLAME LEPINE

- WES CUNNINGHAM

- CRAIG SWITZER
