Spoke to a talent evaluator who worked a Development Camp tryout this spring it has done so for many ears.
His perspective on tryouts and how much weight they have vs body of work all season was interesting:
A sad sad day in Minnesota Hockey as we learn @jessi_pierce and her children passed away. A house fire in White Bear was the cause. Prayers to her, her children, and family. 😔 #MinnesotaHockey#MinnesotaWild
I know of multiple high school coaches in Minnesota right now actively recruiting kids that are currently at other high schools. Do better, build your own program, stop bragging on kids you didn’t develop also handlers stop blaming others cause YOU lied to kids 🤷🏽♂️
Congratulations to @TonkaBoysPuck alumni Bobby Brink on his first goal for the @mnwild. Brink was a second round pick (34th overall) by the Philadelphia Flyers in the 2019 NHL Draft.
Fun Fact: Brink's middle name is "Orr"
Fun Fact #2: He is listed at 5'8" and 170 pounds - further proof you don't have to be a big to make it to the NHL.
Fun Fact #3: Was a member of the 2022 National Champion Denver Pioneers, was a first-team All-American, and was a Hobey Baker Award Finalist.
