ALLENTOWN, Pa. — In his first year as a professional, center Mike Vecchione seems in his element as he works his way toward a spot with the Flyers.
“I’m just trying to do the little things and be consistent,” Vecchione said the other night after keying another AHL win for the 7-2-1 Lehigh Valley Phantoms.
The Massachusetts native has two goals, eight assists, and a plus-10 rating in 10 games, making a smooth transition from Union College to the AHL. He was named the league’s rookie of the month for October.
“I think it started over the summer,” Vecchione, who played two late-season games with the Flyers in April after signing as a free agent, said of working out in Boston with some pro players.
