Ryane Clowe participated in a practice with the ECHL's San Francisco Bulls. "There's not much of a routine or structure (the last few weeks), and that's really what you're looking for. That was a real good skate today, I feel tired right now, I'm glad they let me come up. I liked today, so I'll be back," said Clowe. He's considering playing in the ECHL during the lockout, but he's hesitant because he's in the final season of his NHL contract. If he signs with a team and then gets seriously hurt, it could hinder his efforts to get a new deal over the summer.
