Levasseur signs in CHL.
Goaltender Jean-Phillippe Levasseur, pinched out of the Ducks' ECHL affiliate in Bakersfield, has signed with the Laredo Bucks of the Central Hockey League.
The CHL is considered a "Single A" hockey league to the "Double-A" ECHL. Why is Levasseur there? With each ECHL team allowed only two roster spots for goalies, Timo Pielmeier and Justin Pogge were given the nod ahead of Levasseur, the Ducks' seventh-round choice in the 2005 entry draft.
It's a tough drop for Levasseur, who spent all of last season in the American Hockey League, going went 13-18-4 with a 3.11 goals-against average and an .890 save percentage.
Levasseur has played in 51 career AHL games, posting a combined record of 17-22-5 with the Portland Pirates ('07-08) and Iowa Chops ('08-09).
