Anthony Aiello and Brett Motherwell trying out for Pardubice
The article is here - my best translation from the online translation is that they are trying out right now (only getting costs covered) – arrived August 17 and decision will be made on/before September 6. I’m not clear if there are 2 spots open on D with HC Moeller Pardubice or if they are also competing with each other for a single spot (I think 2).
More images are available of Anthony Aiello and Brett Motherwell. Pardubice (CEZ Arena) was the primary location of the 2008 World Juniors Championship so I’ve actually shot in their rink before. I’ll have to try to find some non-Boston College Eagles content for my next post.
Update: They were released by Pardubice on September 1 after Motherwell played in 3 games and Aiello in 2. Sounds as though it was a bit of a longshot; mostly a way for the club to save a few bucks. Seems like it would have been a cool experience though so hopefully it was worth it for them.
