Yes but every player drafted around Yak who Staois said isn’t there is there at WJC camo now except for Yak - so just for your prospect play nice with HC so if there’s a decision to be made on injury call up maybe your GM doesn’t give a reason for Team Canada to think twice about who it’ll be.
Don't think it had much to do with Staios comments, Hockey Canada just has never been very high on Yakemchuk, Parekh's head coach is on the staff, and Parekh is already located in Ontario's region
Time and relation with the program always plays a part in hockey canada decisions.
He has never been a guy they've liked from his age group, especially compared to how he's viewed elsewhere, and his time with the program hasn't been very beneficial towards improving that
- He wasn't invited to the Hlinka summer camp roster with 14 other 05's invited
- He had a poor U18's nine months later
- He had a poor summer camp in August
He just seems to be on the outside looking in from his age group with respect to how he's viewed by Hockey Canada.
