Yes, reported just 22 minutes ago, and while I was snacking on a Jimmy Dean sausage, egg and cheese bagel, Eric Boulton's employment was renewed for another year at $650,000 per annum. Thanks be to the hard-working Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal, who always seems to log the late hours to bring you the latest. Believe 'dat!
Also, that Russian sniper feller, Ilya Ko-VAL-chook, still hasn't chosen a new home, so let the speculation continue! Where in the world will the erstwhile Thrasher end up?
JUICY TIDBIT: Eric Boulton, who completed a round-about 5-year tour through 7 different minor league towns during the late 90's -- much like a journeyman baseball player does -- once toiled for 34 games as a member of the Kentucky Thoroughblades
(a name that is thoroughly corny).
Whilst in Lexington, Boultsy enjoyed the camaraderie of hockey heroes such as Evgeny Nabakov, Filip Kuba, Andy Sutton and even Herbie Vasiljevs, the former Thrasher who appeared in the Olympics for the maroon and white-clad Latvians in February. Eric Boulton's career would make for a very romantic tale of relentless determination and staunch stick-to-it-ive-ness, wouldn't it?
