I guess we get to see if it's the size of the fight in the dog.

yeah, and a little extra poutine over the summer would help.

but he did score 34 pts. in 34 games for le Boomerang of the QCHL.

A replacement for Freibergs, perhaps?

Perhaps. Or some much needed speed for the blueline.

Says he shoots right but the picture is a lefty. Like the size he has.

also, translation of above piece says,
"My father pushes for hockey and my mother wants me to dedicate myself to my studies," says the sophomore in business management which should get his degree in 2015 or later after a final session in 2016."

guess he won't be here for 2014-15 either, lol.
ah, the internets.

Maybe he grow an inch or so and add 20lbs....

Any idea what happened with this recruit. He obviously isn't on this year's team and I don't see him on Heisenberg's site (although he's missed a few of our recruits the last couple of years).

Looks like he decided to forego the college route. He's playing for a team in QMJHL.
