I really wish I had something that told me what players I played against when I went to Europe. We spent 4 days in Sweden and 4 days in Finland playing against teams when we were there....if only I could remember who we played.

Like Dyanamix though, also went to a Camp with LeNeveu and Mike Stutzel - a former PG Spruce King if I do recall correctly.

 

[Tap on the Ankle]

Closest I've ever come to playing with an NHL player is when I played with Eric Marsh (Brad Marsh's son) about 7 or 8 years ago. Though I am friends with a goalie (who currently plays Jr. B) who used to play against Rick Nash.

 

[Mxpunk]

Since I'm in California, not many....Just Anson Carter, Marty McSorely, Steve McKenna, Ian Laperriere and Stephane Fiset...

Does Nick Vachon count?!?

 

[Hyped]

My buddy and teammate hanging out at my pad right now played against Patrick Marleau in Saskatchewan and said he was otherworldly good, single-handedly destroyed their team on more than one occasion

He was pretty good, no denying it, but they were a one man team so we never had any trouble with them. Though Marleau was the only reason the games were somewhat close.

Minor leaguer, Chad Hinz, was a very good minor hockey player too. He was average size at the time but built super-solid. he was tough to move in front of the net.

I still think Curtis Brown was the more dominant player in minor hockey (at least that I played against). Of course, I was a Pee-wee playing up with the Bantams at that time so he may have looked that much better simply because of that...

 

[Accord]

Ed Jovonovski and Denis Potvin.

Both of them played in my beer league and there are also about 5-6 NHL refs and linesman in my league as well.

I played minor hockey in Calgary with Mike Egener and Brady Murray. Neither of them are in the league yet but both should play a few games at least...

Im from Kingston so only got to play them in tournaments and summer hockey.

 

[petrskudra1]

Went to a stick time at Island Sports Center in Pittsburgh two summers ago and got to skate with Mario, Mark Recchi and R.J. Umberger. Best feeling in the world when Mario passed me the puck, I felt like picking up the puck and putting it in a glass case.

 

[CH Wizard]

I played against Alex Biega...in bantam...this guy is gonna be a franchise player in the NHL.

I played with Ribeiro, in an outdoor game.Also, Steve Begin came to see us play in the playoffs, last year.

I wanted to make midget espoirs or AAA but there's too much competition.I won't play with/vs stars for a year or so (because I'm gonna play MIdget BB, next year).

 

[balddog66]

Played road hockey with Wayne Primeau, (lived with a friend in highschool)
and played ice hockey with Curtis Sanford from St.L. He was two years younger than us, I was 8 at the time, his dad was coaching and he got stuck playing net because of his age...decade and a half later he's got an NHL contract to play net...maybe I should have given it a try....lol

 

[Seachd]

Well well. Lets not forget he's Lithuanian and played for them this year in Div1. Played for Russia at the World Cup. Not your thread man.

Division 1 where? He didn't play for them at the World Chamionships.

Druzhba ’78, the National Under 18 Team from Ukraine

"The most famous Druzhba youngster is NHLer Dainius Zubrus, who doesn't feel Pravilov abused the kids."

A couple years ago on CBC there was a documentary about that team and their coach. It was pretty interesting.

Oh, as for the topic, I've played with/against Brad Stuart, Jim Vandermeer, and Matt Yeats, as far as I can remember.

Gauthier will go pro, have played against him. Bobby Ryan, Glenn Anderson, Bruce Driver, Keny Daneyko, Danny Genovese could go pro.

[Pantokrator]

I've played ball (road/street) hockey with Kevin McCarthy who was assistant coach of the Canes at the time. He had a wicked shot, but limited mobility since he has bum knees. He never passed though, just shot his mean blast.

[nneate]

Played with and against Don Sweeney of the stars, hes from my hometown St. Stephen

 

[ItsAllThere]

I guess the best player I ever played against was Jere Lehtinen, when he was 16. I've actually played against him 2 or 3 times. The thing I remember him best about, is that he had an incredibly quick release on his shot.

I have also had the chance to play against Juha Lind and Sami Helenius.
