The IceCats have had an unforgettable season so far. As usual, though, they've had some forgettable players in the lineup. That is the nature of the minor leagues.
Teams get strapped for bodies and cast a net for anybody who can skate.
It is how Tom Ashe wound up playing a game for Worcester this season, for instance. The IceCats went into last night's game here having used a franchise-record 45 players this season. That does not include backup goalies Matt Heller and Chuck Thuss, who have not played. Ashe is probably too memorable. His circumstances were unique enough so that most fans would remember his brief IceCats career.
