I liked James but felt he was never the same after his broken jaw in 2016 - found him to be a bit gun shy after that, but that was a nasty injury and who could blame him. I expected more from him in his last campaign points-wise, especially after his Mtl camp stint (I thought he would come back and light it up because he’d had an excellent camp), but he just didn’t get there. Great speed and a wicked shot. His stints on defense were great and I often thought they should have kept him back on D and move Merkley up to forward for a number of games as an experiment (cue Storm Surge comments here....). By all accounts he’s a great kid and has talent and drive -he’s got a good head on his shoulders based on interviews I’ve read or seen. Maybe with the move to UNB you’ll see a breakout from him. Always liked the kid as a player and hope the best for him moving forward.
Road trip anyone?? Jays are playing at home that weekend too...
Beginning this season, all of UNB’s sports teams will be known simply as Reds...the “Varsity” is being dropped fro their name.
Don’t really care but I wonder why?
I prefer the old name Red DevilsI prefer Reds. Or Squirrels!
- Do they look at adding another goaltender? I can't ever remember them having three recruited goalies on the team, but if a stud becomes available I have a hard time seeing them say no.
Everybody in CW has 3 goalies.The last time this happened was 2013-14 when they brought Charlie Lavigne in for a game because Travis or Dan was sick/injured. He was in his first year of his MBA and hadn't planned on playing. He didn't play any minutes for the one game he was in for, but was available and wasn't some Junior 'B' goalie some other programs have falling back on.
That's the last time we had 3 quality goalies available in one season.
Previous to this, 2011-12 when we had Travis, Dan and Matt Davis who all played minutes.
Agreed - UNB generally only goes with 2 goalies. Unlike ALB, CAL & USK who seem to carry 3 most seasons.
Mark Rassell is attending LA Kings’ rookie camp and Matthew Boucher, Colorado’s. Both teams are participating in the 2018 Vegas Rookie Faceoff tournament, which takes place from Sept. 8 - 11. Interestingly, Phil Maillet is also part of Kings’ rookie camp.Has there been any word yet who will be attending NHL training camps this year?
I couldn’t find any info on Joe Gatenby or Mark Simpson, who I both thought attended development camps this past summer.
Gatenby was at the Development camp for the Sharks
Mark attend the Development camp for the Capitals
I couldn't find any links/info on them attending a rookie camp (not yet).
