It's official- diaco and mcgurn are co captains

Great choices for co-captains. Both are good players, hard workers and represent the Knights well.

Next year hopefully Dickinson will be made the C

I was looking forward to attending the game this Friday as the Hunters always do a very nice Rememberance Day ceremony. Sadly unable to attend. I have a pair of tickets available if anyone is interested. DM me.

Leading scorer at the U17 is a Knights pick. James Hagens

For those who don’t know - James Hagens is one of the top players in his age group in the world. Theres a real chance he’ll be a contender for 1st overall in his draft year in 2025.

It should be noted that Hagens is a late birthday - so he’s going to be in a precarious position on where he plays in the 2024-25 season.

He will do his two years in the US National Team Development Program and after that it’s up in the air where he will go and what he will do. He will be in a similar position to Patrick Kane and Austin Matthews before him as high end American talents that are late birthdays.

Spending one year in College could be seen as pointless by Hagens who will probably be NHL ready right out of the draft. Going the college route was deemed as Redundant by both Matthews and Kane so they decided to spend their draft years in other leagues after lighting up stat sheets for the US Development program. Something similar could happen with Hagens.

Point is, you’re not getting Hagens to show up this year or next. But in the 2024-25 season, there is a legit possibility he could show up for London and It’s something to keep and eye on.

2023 NHL DRAFT: NOVEMBER RANKING - TOP 50 + 17 HONOURABLE MENTIONS

The McKeen's team releases their first ranking for the 2023 NHL draft featuring a top 50 plus 17 honourable mentions.

Bonk should be a late 1st/2nd rounder. Halttunen has fallen quite a bit due to a slow start. Needs a change of scenery. Has anyone heard if he is considering coming ?

Last time I checked he took a nasty head shot and didn't look well getting off the ice idk if he's played since

 

[LDN]

Is this legit!?!?!

 

[ArielNederland]

Is this legit!?!?!

Yes I think so as I've seen a couple other sources confirm that. So really his only options are ahl/ khl, but the khl isn't even remotely a good league to play on due to certain circumstances

No, he has not

Islander fam here, how has George looked so far this year?

Just recently returned to the lineup, so it's too early to say. Definitely hasn't yet returned to form, but I have no doubt he will. I also expect his minutes to increase as he gets readjusted to game play.

Oh ok. What type of injury did he have?

This seems unfair for him. Just very unfortunate. He seemed to do the right things…he’s being punished due to Media pressure…

I think that the key word in this release is "currently". That implies that somewhere down the road, Logan's situation could change.

At london Casino last night several of the knights were there tying out Roulette (well the players over 18). I wonder if they play their jersey number?

I don't know, to be honest.

 

[Ringing Iron]

Word on the street was an ankle sprain
