Several former Bullfrogs were picked up by other
teams:
Player | Team | Notes |
Glenn Stewart | Minnesota Blue Ox | Stewart was the property of the New Jersey Rockin' Rollers via the Belanger trade and was unprotected. |
John Hanson, Bill Lund, Taj Melson, Chad Wagner | Miami (formerly Orlando) Jackals | Hanson, Lund, and Melson were protected as former Jackals. Guess Wagner threw one punch too many... |
Jim Ficenic, Joe Cook | Las Vegas Coyotes | Are either of these guys going to play? |
Mark Woolf, Darren Colbourne | San Jose Rhinos | Woolfie and Colbourne re-join the hated rival Rhinos...they will be sorely missed and deserve an ovation in their next appearance at the Pond. |
Savo Mitrovic, Bob Woods | Buffalo Wings | Can't protect 'em all...will Savo reprise his "Bullfrog Hop" as the "Buffalo Wings Pounce"? |
Kevin St. Jacques, Sean Whyte, David Goverde, Kevin McCarthy | Detroit | Detroit feasts on former Frogs. |
