Wow!!!!
I just listened Marco D'amico's interview on the French Radio 91.9.
He said that he did about 15 interviews so far with prospects of the June draft and Berkly Catton is the one who impressed him the most:
He said that usually the interviews are 15 minutes long but with Catton's passion of the game the interview was an hour.
He said that he is exactly the type of Martin St Louis cause he is a student of the game.
He gave an example:
Catton told him that last summer he spent hundreds of hours working on his shot but for him it was not enough so he décided to go to a goaltenders camp to speak with them. Catton asked them what were the areas where they were the most uncomfortable in the net. So with the answers that the goaltenders gave him he worked on his shot specically on that.
D'Amico said Catton had the best personnalty he interviewed so far because of his passion , his knowledge of the game etc.
Catton told him thst during the season he watched 15 habs games to study Nick Suzuki's game on 200 foot and Cole Caufield for his release.
I had Catton 3rd overall because of his IQ ( the most important quality for a hockey player). ...this convince me even more..
I find this level of devotion with this level of skill very interesting. The best players have this trait.
