I thought he was on the same minor midget - AAA team. Hmm my bad.
anyone know anything about Conor Garland? committed to psu this week. he played on the same team as jack eichel, who ive noticed is highly regarded on this site.
What are the chances NTDP goes after Birdsall next year if the two goalies on the U17 struggle? Is this possible with a Tendered Player or do you think Birdsall would consider since he was "passed over" this year?
Moving to the 97 class.
Team COMCAST player Troy Henley has moved to Ontario to play his midget year. A solid player who was up a year or two vs. playing with his class. Im told he will play for a "super" team assembled with the best talent from Ontario, Quebec and a few Americans.
Does anyone have details? I'm having trouble locating the team and would like follow the talent here.
What are the chances? Decent, but I still like a couple of goalies more than him. Sam Tucker, I believe is first in line.
Possible with a tendered player? I believe so
Would he consider? I'd think so, but now that we see three goalies on this year's U18 team, I would have to say a lot would have to depend on the circumstances.
I believe the team he'll be playing for is the Oakville Rangers. I think a good number of players from the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Knights bantam major team that won a US national championship last year will also be playing for that team (including Daniel Sprong from Quebec and a bunch of the Russians they had brought in).
Looks like your info is correct. The info from Ontario is that Henley will be suiting up for the Oakville Rangers Minor Midget team. He is said to be looking to play in the OHL. Would be a solid NTDP pick. Maybe they'll sway him. One other American on the squad. McGlynn. A goalie. His brother is a BC recruit and is playing in the USHL this year. Elite Prospects says Sioux City. Was also a USNTDP top 40 Camp Selection in 2011. If the goal tender gets it done maybe another BC brother tandem in the making.
The balance of the other players are not American. Sprong is on the team. Probably one of the best players in the 97 class. Only one other from Wilkes Bar. The team is allegedly one of the best if not the best in Ontario.
Jack Walker has signed with the Victoria Royals of the WHL, his brother Ben plays on the team.
I think majority of WBS Knights 97s stayed together besides Sprong, not positive though.
He's the exact type of player that shouldn't be signing into the CHL as a 16 year old. Good luck to him though.
Yes top end prospects especially D men shouldn't sign in a league that churns out Professional D men
What are you thinking Kid?

Plenty of smaller guys go to the WHL
Didn't hurt a guy like Tyson Barrie or Derek Pouliot
Go to the best league and play against the best peers. Challenge yourself.
