River Rats Release Cavosie

ALBANY, NY -- The Albany River Rats announced today that former Rensselaer forward Marc Cavosie has been released from his 25-game professional tryout contract.

Cavosie, 27, recorded four assists while playing in 11 games for the River Rats this year. The Cohoes, New York native originally joined Albany during the 2007-08 season, signing a PTO on February 26, 2008. He scored 12 points (4 goals, 8 assists) in 16 games for the Rats and then appeared in all seven of Albany’s 2008 Calder Cup Playoff games. This season Cavosie attended Albany’s AHL training camp on a free agent tryout and was signed to a 25-game PTO on October 8.

Albany head coach Jeff Daniels cited roster numbers as the reason.

"It gives him a chance to look around and maybe hook on somewhere else," Daniels said. "The way this game is, you never know how it's going to work out. We could be banged up and looking for somebody again."
