A couple of other snippets from that article that I thought were good, especially the first part. You wonder if Senyshyn had gotten this from his jr team how things might be different:
How Bruins prospect Fabian Lysell's skating separates him from the rest
In Vancouver, the staff hasn’t tried to teach him anything about his skating, knowing he’s got that mastered. Instead, they’ve focussed on other areas of his game, areas McCambridge says he has seen real progress in.
“It has been a learning curve but he’s a real great young man,” McCambridge said. “What we’re trying to do is when and if that day comes where he gets his opportunity for his first pro game with the Boston Bruins, is making sure the correct habits are in place for Bruce (Cassidy) and for Don (Sweeney) when he plays that game.
Langenbrunner: “The guys that are with him day-to-day are the guys that are going to be doing video more with him, and doing skill work more, and when we get him to Boston that’s when we’ll do more hands-on stuff. The biggest part of our role, whether it’s me or Adam McQuaid, with Fabian is that adjustment period. You’re talking about a whole new culture. You’re nine time zones away. You’re basically in a different world. Add on the pressure of playing hockey in a tough league and there’s a lot going on for these kids, not to mention girlfriends and family and all of that stuff. I think he’s becoming more and more mature and more and more confident in himself as an individual and I think long term it’s going to be very good for him.”
Lysell’s happy he landed with the Bruins after they showed the most interest leading up to the draft (including meeting with him the day before they picked him while he was in Plymouth for the World Junior Summer Showcase), and thankful for the guidance he has received from people like Langenbrunner."
