Who else do you think will be added to the team?

I'd like to see Robbie Schremp, Dan Fritsche, and Danny Richmond for sure. I'd also have liked to see Gerald Coleman get some consideration. He's been solid for the London Knights this year.The lack of consideration for CHL players is really starting to grate on me. There's around four to five spots left so maybe that can change.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Just as point of referance here's the list of players invited to the evaluation camp held over the summer:

Coleman wasn't even invited to the selection camps, even though he was the starter for the U18 team two years ago. He'll have to seriously turn it up if he's going to make it.

Coleman wasn't even invited to the selection camps, even though he was the starter for the U18 team two years ago. He'll have to seriously turn it up if he's going to make it.

It looks like the goaltender spots are set, so Coleman has zero chance unless one of Howard or Montoya gets hurt.

 

[William H Bonney]

While Coleman has had a good year so far, in my opinion he is nowhere near the level of Montoya and Howard.

Players I'd Like on the Team:
Robbie Schremp
Dan Fritsche
TJ Hensick
Danny Richmond

One of the following:
Drew Stafford
John Vigilante
Josh Hennessy
Ryan Potulny

 

[JDB3939]

Is Goepfert too old now? He was awesome in net last season.

Is Mark Stuart any relation to Brad?

Schremp has had a good season in the CHL right? He should make it if so.

 

[AJ1982]

While Coleman has had a good year so far, in my opinion he is nowhere near the level of Montoya and Howard.

Players I'd Like on the Team:
Robbie Schremp

One of the following:
Drew Stafford
John Vigilante
Josh Hennessy
Ryan Potulny

I'd like to see Hugh Jessiman make it.

 

[nucks2001]

so does that mean these guys have been released to participate?

 

[USC Trojans]

Colin McDonald

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

Dustin Brown and Ryan Kesler will have to be released by their respective franchises.

 

[William H Bonney]

Is Goepfert too old now? He was awesome in net last season.

Is Mark Stuart any relation to Brad?

Schremp has had a good season in the CHL right? He should make it if so.

Yes, Goepfert is too old.

No, Mark Stuart is an American, Brad Stuart is a Canadian.

Statistically, yes Schremp has had a good year. Some say his trade demand says otherwise.

 

[Kirk- NEHJ]

Is Mark Stuart any relation to Brad?

No, but eldest brother Mike was drafted by Nashville and is a member of the St. Louis Blues organization (Worcester Ice Cats), while other brother Colin is a senior teammate and the captain at Colorado College, and is property of the Atlanta Thrashers.

 

[Jovavic]

I see Fritchie being allowed to play, even if he's still with the Jackets. If he goes back to the CHL, he'll go for sure.

 

[Oilers Chick]

I'm pleasantly surprised to see Jeff Likens get the nod. He's been terrific for Wisconsin thus far.

 

[Brock]

I'd probably expect Rob Schremp, Dan Fritsche and Danny Richmond to get the nods for sure. Quite possibly Josh Hennessy as well.

Either Tj Hensick or Draw Stafford would be good to see as well but they could be skipped over this year because this team has some great depth.

Glad to see Montoya get a spot as well, Give us all a good look at him.

Another guy to keep an eye on is Jim Sharrow of the Halifax Mooseheads. Excellent offensive defenseman.

 

[LaLaLaprise]

Sharrow and Hennesey should both be there.

Both are leading their teams in scoring.

Sharrow has 12 pts in 11 games as a dman. He is an 85 bday so he would still be eligible for 2005 WIHC.

 

[DJ Spinoza]

Is Ben Eaves too old as well?

 

[Teemu]

James Wisniewski*

Remember this name, for he will soon be a saviour to the hawks PP problems. Plays almost an identical game to Derek Morris (albeit smaller), and has the potential to be almost as good.

 

[William H Bonney]

Is Ben Eaves too old as well?

Yes, he's too old.
