More on the Joel Vienneau story

Goldy Gopher, University of Minnesota-Twin Cit...Image via WikipediaApparently there is more to the Joel Vienneau story, sounds like a kid that was running out of options.
Mlive.COM ---- Vienneau posted a 15-18-4 record last season with a 3.70 goals-against-average. Vienneau and Paul Berrafato were the Jacks' goaltenders a year ago and both were expected to return this season after earning roster spots in the team's June training camp.

"There's no young man I wanted to succeed more than Joel, but we have an organizational credo here, one that requires our players to work as hard off the ice as on it," Lumberjacks owner Josh Mervis said.

Vienneau came to Muskegon with a commitment to the University of Minnesota, but that commitment was pulled back by the university earlier this year.

"In a word, it's disappointing," Mervis said. "The young man has talent, but that isn't nearly enough to succeed here or at the next level. We wish him the best in his endeavors."
