People really need to read the article his coach is quoted in.

Talks about the issue of being from such a small city in the middle of no where is he DIDNT have the same opportunity to do power skating, or work with elite coaches.
He said he is a few THOUSAND hours of training behind kids who are from the GTA type areas where you have coaches and camps from a young age.

I cant see any scenario where giving the kid a chance has any worse consequences than him taking up 1 of the 50 contract spots.
Sign him, put him through the same training we gave Marchment, Gauthier and even Dermott. All are guys who's stride/edges/explosiveness has changed dramatically from when they got to the Marlies. If he doesnt work out, at least ya took the shot.

Skating is so much about the foot and ankle. Finally SOMEONE who understands!!! I was the tennis and squash coach at the Granite Club, I watched Barbara Underhill every day at lunch skating on the ice with Paul Martini and of course Brian Pockar, Brian Orser, Barbara Manley etc.... It was quite a lunch time.
