Solar Bears confirm that they have agreed to terms with 17 players, including two goaltenders.
When Kyle Dubas came to visit Orlando in June, it was to announce the hiring of coach Anthony Noreen. Noreen is the Leafs-approved successor to the last Solar Bears coach, and along with this announcement of Toronto's involvement in the coaching decision, Dubas indicated that Toronto would increase ties to the ECHL affiliate.
Then came roster moves, some of which reduced potential minor-league depth in favor of a proven NHL player, and some of which made the choice of a starting goaltender for Orlando a little less clear.
