I know that Zemgus Girgensons has a chance to be the highest drafted Latvian in history but I heard a few other unpronounceable names may be high rounders as well. Anyone have anymore info?

Next talented Latvian is bukarts who is for 2014 draft. I want to see Zemgus! Is Latvia playing wjc this year?
Yeah, you're correct, he's younger and won't be able to participate in the draft this year, but he's not that young to go only in 2014. 2013, right?Next talented Latvian is bukarts who is for 2014 draft. I want to see Zemgus! Is Latvia playing wjc this year?
Bukarts is indeed 2014, as his birthday is 12/31/1995.Yeah, you're correct, he's younger and won't be able to participate in the draft this year, but he's not that young to go only in 2014. 2013, right?
Girgensons played at WJC last year, this year he'll also be invited.

You should visit this topic, it covers the popularity of hockey in Europe.I love Latvian hockey fans, aren't as crazy (stupid?) as Finnish fans but they can drink alot and are loud as hell. They deserve good hockey players. How big sport hockey is at Latvia? And how popular is dinamo Riga compared to other clubs in Any sport.
Thanks for explaining.
So yeah, Girgensons and Blugers (or Bluegers, Bļugers) are supposed to be the guys that get drafted.

But to make a long story short, we love hockey and Dinamo Riga is by far the most popular sports team in the country.
I hope Bukarts stays in Latvia and they give him a chance in the MHL (in 2012 he'll be 16 and we can ask the league to allow him participate in the current season starting with January after he passes all the medical tests).Love that Latvia gonna get Top talents Zemgus is top 10 prospect in some rankings, and all the things i've heard from bukarts who has first round talent aswell. I don't know what he plans to do Stays at Latvia, CHL or top european junior league. But over 2 PPG against adults as a 13-14 years old. I think he should go in top european Jr. leagues and try to crack into top team. I doubt he comes to Finland, but he could have good shot at making top team, there is not very good prospects in some systems, We all know how SEL U-20 league developes players best developement league after CHL.
Welcome, ZEMGUS!
