My friend and former ECHL, UHL, and WPHL netminder Rob
Laurie is in negotiations with the CHL Fort Worth
Brahmas on the renewal of his contract. The team had
made him an offer, but it was not much more than a
rookie would make.
Rob's a great guy and because he's really easy going,
tends to get taken advantage of in his jobs. He's
still owed money by Anaheim, and this last summer he
played roller hockey for team USA on the promise of
new equipment. He got a pair of new gloves out of the
deal. They never even ordered new goalie sticks for
him!
Rob's not asking for a lot of money, just a fair
contract.
The Brahma fans have put together a petition to Todd
Lalonde and the Brahmas front office to get Rob the
attention he need's to get him a decent offer on his
contract for this year. As far as the petition goes,
the total number of signatures - not whether you're a
Brahma fan - is the important thing. We have 84 right
now. We'd like to break the 100 mark!
Please help out, even if you don't know him, by
signing the petition at

There's also a banner available you can display on
your site if you wish to help out even more, the
coding is as follows:
