A little bit off topic but what an amazing Bantam AAA division in Winnipeg that year.
Jonathan Toews - Chicago Black Hawks 3rd pick overall (should have gone no. 1 if scouts were actually paying attention)- Winnipeg Warriors
Jordan Staal - Pittsburgh 2nd pick overall (right where he should have been picked)- Thunder Bay Kings
James Reimer - Toronto Maple Leafs - Winnipeg Thrashers
Ryan White - Montreal Canadians - Brandon Wheat Kings
Essentially 4 nhl'ers in a league with 7 teams. Wow! Nearly two thirds of the teams had a future nhl'er in the lineup.
And before someone tries to tell me that Staal is not from Winnipeg, forget it. Thunder Bay played in the Winnipeg league during the regular season. Staal and Toews had many, many epic battles that year. It was really amazing to watch.
