Former Viper Olthuis Added & Released By Aces:




This may be old news to some of you, but I just come across this yesterday so thought I would post it for the fans that didnt know.

Former Vernon Vipers goaltender, Jon Olthuis (2004-2006) finished his four years with the University of Anchorage of Alaska this year. On March 30th the ECHL Alaska Aces added the former UAA goaltender as a third string emergency backup goaltender for the playoffs. Veteran Aces goaltender, Scott Reid went down with an injury leaving rookie backup Billy Sauer as the team's starting goaltender. Reid's injury didnt last very long as shortly after being added to the Aces playoff roster, Reird returned to the lineup wich ment Olthuis was then released on April 4th. Former Vernon Vipers forward, Curtis Fraser also plays on the Alaska Aces.
