Has anyone been to the U18 in Calgary??

Camp roster observations

Roster data obtained at camp on player size and weight compared to player provided info for the hockey canada site, some interesting observations are:

5 players grew taller
11 stayed the same
23 are shorter
1 player no previous data

29 gained weight up to 23 pounds in one instance
3 stayed the same
7 lost

Tallest is 6'3.5" - Chris Lawrence 204 lbs, Scott Jackson a close 2nd at 6'3" 197 lbs.
Shortest is 5'8"- Brok Bradford 152 lbs, 2nd at 5'9 are 6 players 172 +lbs

12 players are born in January
6 players born in February
5 in March

Only 6 players are born July 1 or later.

Also, comparing to the roster from Monday & Thursday...
Marc Staal went from 6'2", 180lbs to 6'3", 198lbs.
Nick Drazenovic went from 6'0", 159lbs to 6'1.5", 175lbs.

Based on what? What part of his game isn't good enough to be at the camp? Sounds like your bitter at the sutter's.

Most parts of his game aren't good enough. He'll turn out to be no more than an average WHL'er but I guarantee someone will take him in the draft next year way earlier than he should be(if he even warrants being drafted at all). I'm not bitter at the Sutters, I actually like them all, I just don't believe their kids should get opportunities simply based on their name.

Too bad about Lawrence being sent home injured, must have been disappointing.
Good luck guys, bring home the gold!!!!

Sounds like steroids at mealtime! What the hell are they feeding these kids!

What is up with the size of the forwards?? Where would Latendresse fit into all of this and I guess it would be nice to have his size available.

 

[Vatican Roulette]

Well, it appears Francis Pare has replaced Guillaume Latendresse at the U18 camp. Hockey Canada hasn't reported anywhere why Latendresse is not at camp. My first guess is obviously an injury, but hey, maybe he has other problems??

It's unfortunate that Latendresse is not at this camp. He would have been an obvious choice to go overseas and it would've been nice to see how he stacks up against the best his own age.

probably still printing his name on the jersey...

If Drazenovic went from 159 pounds to 175 pounds - he's clearly on the juice.
