[Passchendaele]

He won't be drafted, but Jake Gilmour will be eligible.

 

[Woodhouse]

Jack Ramsey - son of Mike
Luc Snuggerud - nephew of Dave

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Ryan Verbeek - nephew of Pat Verbeek

He was rated really low, so I don't know if he'll end up being drafted. Not very big, and while feisty, nowhere near the little ball of hate his uncle was.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Ryan Verbeek- Pat Verbeek's son.

Nephew, not son. Ryan's father is former Kingston Canadians junior player Brian Verbeek, Pat's brother.

 

[Passchendaele]

I think this kid's father was a pretty good NHL player.

Don't think he'll get drafted, thought.

 

[McMozesmadness]

Nephew, not son. Ryan's father is former Kingston Canadians junior player Brian Verbeek, Pat's brother.

My bad. Thanks for clearing that up.

 

[admire]

Mads Eller might be drafted...brother of Lars Eller.

 

[Lunatik]

Ryan MacInnis should be a second round pick this year and he is the son of Al.

They are actually second cousins.

They are actually second cousins.

Is that Peter Quenneville's brother? I go to Quinnipiac we were pretty upset that he left.

Here are a few of my favourites (some are obscure):

Nick DeSimone (brother Philip was high pick by Carolina) - skilled dman heading to NCAA champs Union next year. '94 bday makes this his last year of eligibility but I like him a lot and hope the Jets draft him.

Ruslan Pedan (brother Andrei is islanders pick playing in AHL) -also '94 bday playing in NCAA. Has decent puck skills and likes to hit. Reminds me of Roman Polak but needs to get stronger.

Scott Conway (cousin to projected top-10 pick Brendan Perlini and son of Kevin who played pro in Great Britain for years). He tore up the USHL this year and will be a big part of Penn State's NCAA program over the next 3-4 years.

Dominic Turgeon (son of Pierre) - was buried behind 5 elite WHL forwards and several other vets this season in Portland. He is learning what it takes to win on a good team and he'll have a huge breakout season in 2014-15 with more ice time due to Leier and Leipsic going pro.

Nick Schmaltz (brother of Blues 1st rounder Jordan) - Nick will join his brother at UND next year and is expected to contribute right away. I expect him to go between 15-25th overall in this years draft.

 

[mazmin]

I now realize this thread was for bloodlines who played in the NHL.

So here's a legit one: Chris Wilkie (son of David who played with Montreal and Tampa bay) - skilled winger headed to UND next year. Guy can score but I'd keep him in USHL for 1 more year. Probably 5-7th rounder this year.

Is Sam Bennett relation to any of the Bennetts who played in NHL?
