Canucks steeped in NCAA alums and milestones

Post by Falcon Fanatic »

"Regarding BGSU, I would think their biggest strength is that they never give up, They never slow down and they battle hard even after the other team scores. We have to be on our game and never, ever take the foot off the gas for a second."

"BG was relentless. It's like they know that a good first pass on the breakout from a defenseman will almost always result in an odd-man rush against them - but they go in anyway and dare you to make that pass. All three of their goals were just grit and effort. That's a team any fan can be proud to support...they give all they've got."

Yes, great article. I can't remember the source, but one NHL coach at some point mentioned that he liked working with NCAA products because they were "coachable." In spite of all that the Jrs. have to offer, I see the NCAA taking a bigger piece of the NHL roster each year.
