Young stars Sept 8 -11 th

[Atoyot]

I use to find this tournament interesting but I have to admit most of our talent is in the NHL now so I don't have much interest in this line up. Guys like Niku and Harkins will be playing for the Moose which is in town now so there will be lots of chance to watch the few guys that might make the Jets one day.

I'm still excited, though admittedly it may be just be because I'm so hockey deprived by this point.

 

[DeepFrickinValue]

most excited to see niku. hopefully he shines.

Everyone gets excited for the young stars tournament!

Then the team is a tirefire, especially on defense, and makes the HFJets Scouting Brass shut off their laptop screens before the end of the game.

At least that's how I remember these going.

 

[garret9]

Team should be a lot better on defense then in past. Forward though....

Who should have the strongest forward core? Vancouver?

 

[trebendan]

illegalcurve.com has mentioned that Kameron Kielly is invited: http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=160371

Combination.
Roslovic is a chance invite, but not certain on it.



Aye, same as well.
Some of the invites that I've heard rumoured are interesting... which is a first for me for the Jets and this tournament.

good interesting? or bad interesting?

Who should have the strongest forward core? Vancouver?

Always depends on who the teams invite, but Mangiapane-Jankowski-Foo would be a helluva top line for Calgary.

 

[Aavco Cup]

Professional teams paying for players' transportation, room and board? Why, it would defile the purity of amateur athletics!

There is also the reality that players are already attending classes and must maintain grades or become ineligible to play hockey.

They would likely have to pay their own way to attend these tournaments as well in order to satisfy the NCAA financially although I don't think anyone has tested those waters. And these are also generally considered tryouts so not sure how that would be treated by the NCAA.

I'm not sure what would be in it for a player to try to legally attend one of these. So much to lose for so little benefit.

Me too, this always gets me aped up for the preseason. It'll be interesting this year with so many of our prospects graduated or not attending. There's a better chance than ever to spot diamonds.

 

[Joe Hallenback]

All I know is I am looking forward to this!

 

[DEANYOUNGBLOOD17]

Apparently Tyler Boland has been invited to Jets training camp (I assume that means he'll play in this tournament too)

 

[puck stoppa]

Which one of the youngsters do you have surprising people with a strong camp? Lemieux, Roslovic?

 

[surixon]

His production looks intriguing. Do you happen to know much about his game?

 

[Joe Hallenback]

I think Roslovic would dominate a tournament like this with his pro experience.

I am looking forward to seeing the Finns, Niku,Virtanen and maybe Vesalainen if he comes.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Canucks I predict win this, but the Jets have a better chance than Oiler and Flames prospects.

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

Laine is only 19 he should be allowed to play

I've been hankerin' for some Jets hockey.

 

[mcpw]

Another invite, Mathieu Sevigny.

Pretty sure Niku will be the only Finn.

 

[MardyBum]

Virtanen's playing in the USHL, should be there.

Vesalainen highly unlikely.

 

[mcpw]

Virtanen's playing in the USHL, should be there.

Not if he wants to keep his NCAA eligibility.

Interesting -- thanks for updating. Says that Sevigny played at the YS for the Flames last year, and that Zinger was impressed with his play in the Q last season with Drummondville -- will suit up for Victoriaville this year, having been traded in early June.

 

[MardyBum]

Not if he wants to keep his NCAA eligibility.

Is that his plan? Didn't think he was going the NCAA route.

 

[surixon]

It seems like our QMJHL scout has been very busy lol.
