Just a little news. Belchetz will be at the combined but doing no pull-ups or bench press. He only started using weights 2 weeks ago. Based on that it probably was never in the cards for him to play.

I call BS on that. He’s probably just not very strong for his size. And to be fair he is 6’5 and 228. Do they make you bench your body weight? 225 is a good amount even for an experienced lifter let alone a 17 year old kid and he’s above that.

Pull ups would be significantly harder at that weight too

Belchetz playing had nothing to do with pull ups or bench presses and everything to do with other individuals not giving him clearance because they may have been more worried about his draft stock (i.e. agent)

Bergeron is legit. Kid you build around. Him signing is MASSIVE.
Agree massive signing getting Bergeron though not shocked,with him signed Spits now have 5 US born players under contract,Garden,Brown,Harvey,Windbiel being the others,will probably add more,thinking Dman Sam Wathier,forward Braeden Horton and possibly dman Drake Gram a former teammate of Garden in Michigan, that would make 8 plus others possible from the upcoming draft.

Apparently Max Delise wants out of Owen Sound (5th overall ‘09) who looked very good as a 16 year old.

Do we have the assets for a move like that?
