After a lifetime in the media I should know better than to accept
everything I read on the newswire, so.... to clear up some confusion [which
I've helped to foster -- sorry :( ] ....

Well, that's _sorta_ correct. Actually Miller, Serowik and Werenka will be
playing for the Indianapolis Ice (Blackhawks IHL affiliate), not in Chicago
as the snip from AP would seem to indicate.  You can check out the Ice's
comments about the acquisitions at:

Sorry for the mixup! And thanks to Glen Keeney for asking the questions
that led me to dig into the real meaning of the AP's prose.
 
          cheers!
