More Alaska connections, including Rapuzzi, on the move

Just a quick note to, well, note that several more Alaska-connected players are on the move, including reigning ECHL Rookie of the Year William Rapuzzi of Anchorage.

Rapuzzi, who racked 16-42--58 totals in 60 games for the Idaho Steelheads, is taking his talents to Visp, a Swiss team, according to eliteprospects.com

Also, former Alaska Aces defenseman Zack FitzGerald, long a fixture in the AHL (and he played one NHL game for Vancouver, if memory serves), is headed across the pond to play for the Braehead Clan in the Great Brittain-based EIHL.

Also on the move is former UAA defenseman/forward Curtis Leinweber, who is moving from EIHL Edinburgh to the Herlev Eagles in Denmark.

Lastly, former Aces goaltender Mark Guggenberger re-upped with ECHL Gwinnett.
