You’d think the organization would get on top of this - the markets there for sure

Kuhlman Hughes Hall And Frederick.

I hope some of you make the trip. Place is packed with team prospects coaches team management Bruin fans sit directly below Sweeney and Neely. The bars are packed and the wings are awesome.

 

[Dr Hook]

Interesting. The Bruins seem to be mining the Q a good bit lately for undrafted players.

For me? Studnicka showed a lot of promise at one of these tournaments. Great speed and poise with the puck. Can’t wait to see how he does this year.

I'll be there, so this sounds like good news for me. Although I typically eat myself to the point where my body shuts down, so I'll have to avoid the wings until after the games.

 

[Ratty]

From the one clip I saw I can conclude that he'll be a Fenian fav.

 

[UncleRico]

Went to this last year. Unfortunately I won’t be able to go this year, but it was an amazing time.

Anyone have a list of what Bruins prospects will be attending? (Sorry if it’s already been posted just not seeing it)

I think Cehlarik had a great tourney one year too, didn’t he?

 

[Blowfish]

[GloryDaze4877]

Something tells me he’s going to be one of those guys that stands around and likes to watch everyone else...








$20 says I’m going to have to explain this to someone.
