Brett Ponich News
After a remarkable junior career with the Portland Winterhawks of the Western Hockey League, Ponich will get an opportunity to prove himself at a higher level when he joins the Blues' American Hockey League affiliate, the Peoria Rivermen, after training camp.
Ponich will start the season in Peoria but could earn a callup if the Blues face substantial injuries.
