Claude Lemieux to Worcester Sharks?

Well, the China Sharks are in Tokyo playing the Seibu Prince Rabbits, but Claude Lemieux is not on the roster. This could be because of visa problems, but it’s more likely that he’s managed to secure an AHL contract with the Worcester Sharks (a couple of unconfirmed sources, including an AL player). Who knew that playing for the China Sharks could be the first step in working your way up through the Sharks organization!?

Finally, a notification on the official AL website.

シャークスから、クロード・ルミューの登録抹消、アダム・テイラーの再登録手続きが行われました。

The China Sharks have deactivated Claude Lemieux and reactivated Adam Taylor.

Plus, some interesting(?) marketing effort by the China Sharks as they’ve relocated to fashionable Shanghai from drab Beijing. Yup, that’s Wade Flaherty in the first picture, and Chinese players (and of course the model) in the other pictures.
