I actually have something to post...wow...
So I saw the kid's from the same town where I work, and asked one of my co-workers (the boss's son, who is now working in our office) if he'd heard of him. He told me he plays with Finklestein's brother in his summer league so he knows him well, and is going to play against Ben in their league's championship game tomorrow. Says he's one of the best players he's ever played against - small, but very smart with the puck. 70 points in his last USHL season. Stocky, so I presume there's a lot of muscle on that diminutive frame (kid's listed a hair shorter than even I am). Co-worker was offering to get me some autographs but I told him I don't go in for that
just want a scouting report after tomorrow's game.
Apparently he was playing at Cairns Arena yesterday about a mile up the road from where I am right now, and didn't have cell service until he left, when he found out he'd been drafted.
