Down one path lies thq American Hockey League and -the Toronto Marlies. Down the other is the East Coast Hockey League and the Columbia Inferno in South Carolina. Doig doesn't get a choice; he'll get an assignment. "It's pretty stressful," he said on his cell phone last Monday night. "We'll see how it goes." Doig and the other rookies are living in a hotel in Toronto right now and don't know how long they'll be there. "I could be here for up to a month," he said. "Everybody will be in the hotel until they either tell you to get a place in Toronto - that means you're starting the year here - or you just stay in the hotel until they say, `We're send- ing you down.

They faced each team once in round robin play with the top two play- ing in the final game and the other two in the consolation final Toronto finished third in the tournament, with a win, loss and a tie in round robin play and then won the consolation final. "It was a good experience. I thought I played pretty well there and played every game," said Doig.
