D’Orio to start season with Nailers

When I spoke to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton head coach Mike Vellucci last month, the decision as to which goaltender -- Emil Larmi or Alex D'Orio -- would start in Wheeling was very much up in the air.

“That’s what camp’s all about,” Vellucci said. “They’re going to have to earn their spot. Both of them are new to the organization, and so they have to come in and earn their spot. One of the things is I didn’t have any idea of what they’re about. I wanted to come in with a clean slate for them, for myself.
