    saw him play once in 1986.
    but mostly I remember that game for taking my wife to see her first hockey game, and she didn't speak English at the time. when I was trying to explain the rules to her in Chinese, the woman behind me snarked, "you'd think they'd teach 'em English before they came here." yeah, I was born in Kansas, sweetheart.

      Bryce Williamson played for him when he coached the St. Albert Steel. Rumor has it that Parksy tried several times to get Paluch to come out and watch him play, but Paluch wouldn't do it. When Paluch was let go, Willy went out and was able to pick him up as a recruit. Worked out pretty well for us as Bryce became an integral part of our rebuilding process.

          Seen a number of sites that have 2016 goaltender Ryan Bednard going in the mid rounds of this weekends draft. This site has him going in the 4th round to the Preds.
          http://www.draftsite.com/nhl/player/ryan-bednard/22862/

          Have not seen anything about any of the 2015 guys or last years freshmen being drafted.......but at least we should have two NHL draft picks on the 2016 squad, assuming Friedman stays for at least 3 years anyway.

          I remember watching the team in the mid 80's when we had 10-12 drafted guys on the team.....87-88 time frame. Those were the days.......

              If you can make it, I highly recommend attending. While Toledo is a much, MUCH better hockey town than Columbus (go Goaldiggers!) and stupidly close to BG, you will still get significant time with Bergeron and he's looking for conversation. I'm also curious about attendance at the Toledo event -- the Columbus event wasn't exactly SRO. Kingston has to do a better job of advertising this thing for next year.

                "While there's very little consensus after those six, we'll take Ryan Bednard to start off our final grouping. He suffered from a lack of exposure at a small outpost and is a real projection, but we love his raw tools and his terrific size combined with quick feet give him a good base. Bednard has a very strong work ethic that makes us believe he'll develop well over the next few years. He angles shots off to the corners very well with both the stick and blocker. We do wish he'd learn to play a bit quieter in net as he tends to get too busy."

                  I'm sure that this only has meaning for the old heads, but one of Doug Ross's sons died last week. This is going to hit the UAH community pretty hard.

                    These things come in 3's. Spent many a night in Mark's listening to the '84 team swap stories.

                        Mark's has been gone for a loooong time. He sold it back in the early 90's. SBX expanded into that building quite a while back.

                          not sure how up-to-date Heisenberg's info is...he doesn't have Musser listed, and he's signed an NLI.
                          FYI, the issue with Baylis had nothing to do with credit hour issues. He will miss the first 6 games of the season due to having played in 3 post season major junior games. He will be a fun one to watch!

                              thanks, we'll take that.
                              so he's taking the hit because the Carleton Place Canadians played in the Fred Page Cup and the Royal Bank Cup? not much the player or BGSU can do about that.

                                The Fred Page Cup and RBC are Junior A tournaments. Nothing wrong with that. Baylis must have played in a couple games in the QMJHL or OHL. That can (and normally does) disqualify you from playing NCAA hockey, although I've heard that it's possible to appeal that and sometimes win the appeal if a kid hasn't played more than a couple of games of Major Junior hockey.
