Sometimes, hard work pays off and dreams come true. That is something that happened to me recently. I want to thank Darren Yorke and Don Waddell for giving me the opportunity to scout for the Carolina Hurricanes. I can’t wait to get started. Go Canes! 👊

🚨Adam Fantilli is in the line up🚨 (for real this time)

Starting a thread of Canadian provinces and their hypothetical U20 World Junior teams. Up first is Team British Columbia (pop ~ 5,070,000) Drafted players- 10 First-round picks- 1 2021 prospects- 3 Actual camp invites- 3 Camp invites per million- 0.59

A nice smattering of draft-eligible talent heading to Sweden’s WJC camp William Eklund Jesper Wallstedt Simon Edvinsson Simon Robertsson Oskar Olausson There’s a good chance at least 4 of them will be making the trip to Edmonton

I'm ready for Ilya Sorokin in the NHL I'm also ready for NHL commentators to start saying "oy yoy yoy" whenever something big happens

Just got off the phone with Ryan Chesley from USA Hockey’s NTDP. He tells me he is down to Minnesota and North Dakota for his college decision. He doesn't know when that decision will come however.

Canada also unfortunately cut Shane Wright this morning. I was really hoping to see him at the tournament, but the experience of just being at the camp is invaluable. We can still hope to see Slovakia send some of their superstar 04s the the #2021WJC

Adam Fantilli pots his 1st career USHL goal and game winner over Youngstown. Fantilli is a top 3-4 prospect for the #2023NHLDraft.
