Hockey Update


Well the NTDP camp is over and Devin did not have a great showing. He was so worried about how the other goalies looked that he did not play his normal aggressive self, though he still looked good in net. (He is more athletic and faster than any of the other goalies, just wasnt aggressive enough, according to the goalie coach.) At this point we have no idea if he made it or not because most kids were told right away they did not make it and Devin was not. The only thing the coach told him was he "probably didnt make it; however, all the coaches will sit down together and discuss it." And they have yet to post any roster. So he is playing up for spring in the U18 division with his old coach. We just want to make sure he plays at a higher level, regardless of where. Next weekend he goes to Selects to see if he can make it to Rochester again and it is also the OHL draft on Saturday. He is supposed to be drafted, then we have to make a decision where he will be heading, whether it be OHL or the college route. (He has been offered a scholarship from the OHL team that wants him and its right here in Saginaw; however, he will be ineligible to play hockey for Div 1 teams. Lots to think about and until the draft is over, no decisions have to be made. Wow, we have a week.....LOL Its been crazy, Clarence phone is ringing off the hook from USHL teams, OHL teams and scouts. Will keep you posted.
