The Pielmeier: Pielmeier named to All-Star team




With the string rapidly unraveling to the end and now today, all you have to do is pull it off of the cardboard support to end the quite full and odd year of 2009 and with the naming of the Olympic rosters; there's something else which lies with a Duck of a goalie; Timo Pielmeier was one of the four players of the Condors named to the All-Star team.Pielmeier currently sits in the top three goalies of the ECHL. While other Condor players currently play for other teams all four players are under an entry level deal with the Anaheim Ducks; those names include: MacGregor Sharp who is playing in San Antonio, Eric Regan playing with Condors, Dan Sexton and every Ducks fan knows who his kid is; Sexton is currently playing in the NHL with the Anaheim Ducks he was called up on Dec 3 in replacement of the injured Teemu Selanne.

Pielmeier has yet to play in regular NHL game with the Ducks. Pielmeier is German born and was currently beaten out for the Olympics by fellow country man, Thomas Griess who is playing for the San Jose Sharks as a back up to Evgeni Nabokov. Griess' chances of playing in the NHL helped him win a spot in goaltending, or at least being a huge consideration has helped him a lot. San Jose has been able to showcase their German born goaltender in the "Big Show" Pielmeier was also the property of the San Jose Sharks but was traded to Anaheim for Kent Huskins who still currently plays for San Jose and Travis Moen who currently plays for the Montreal Canadiens.

NOTES: While this has been short lived and not too up to date about minor league goalies major and exciting occurrences will all be written up about. Little media attention and the sporadic areas in which the Ducks prospect goalies play for doesn't help much either.
