Looking good Jimbo! Jesus Christ.

I don't think that's actually him.

Hard to tell from that picture. Cant see the hooves and he couldve sanded down his horns

I wondered too, which is why I refrained from posting here last night when his was tweeted out. There isn't actually a player on Portland (or in the CHL) called Benning from what I can tell.

Seriously though, Jim Benning the NHLer player would be useful on the current Canucks roster. Nothing too flashy (eg., not expensive) & a reliable #4 D. Amazing how inept he was at acquiring such a defenseman in his umpteen years as GM though.

I think the post is referring to the Junior Winterhawks, which would be some sort of program for very young players. I don't think their roster is publicly available.

For the record after some digging the is an Evan Benning who plays for the Winterhawks 18u team, that is like 14, and is related to ol Jimbo.

But I can't find any info about there being a tournament this past weekend involving his team in Burnaby.

Found it. Was part of the VANCOUVER MINOR HOCKEY 17TH ANNUAL CANUCKS PLACE CHARITY TOURNAMENT.

I copy & pasted the tourney name and will not be uncapitalizing it.
