Cleve Kinley to Attend Amerks Camp

The list of players that will be attending the Amerks training camp should be available any day now, prior to that I’ll be relying on articles posted elsewhere. The first name I’ve come across is defenseman Cleve Kinley.  Kinley was just signed by the Florida Everblades as their 15th player under contract.  There’s little chance …
