With all the North American pro leagues now started we’ll take our first look at where all the former Worcester pro hockey players landed this season. Players in North America are generally listed by the highest league they’ve played in so far this season, European players are listed by their current teams. Players who appeared in NHL games or are listed on an NHL roster appear in bold. Worcester Railers players on recall to the Bridgeport Sound Tigers or Springfield Thunderbirds are not mentioned.
For the first time since I’ve done these lists, no former Worcester IceCats player is playing pro hockey anywhere.
This list is accurate as of the morning of Monday, November 1st.
