Eric Weinrich grew up in a town about 15 minutes away. Sounds like he may be coming back for good also. Would be sweet to have an ex-NHL'er playing pick-up at the rink I play at, which is the rink he played his youth hockey at also.

Farmington, MI--Brent Johnson. Our families are friends, our grandmas were friends in grade school.

Eric Lindros also went to my HS for a year when he played Jr. A for Detroit Compuware.

Dwight Parrish, another Farmington boy, played for years in the AHL and, last I knew, was playing in Great Britain.

Craig Anderon, backup goalie for the Chicago Blackhawks grew up on the outskirts of Chicago in Park Ridge.

Fans haven't really paid much attention to him since he blows (88.6 SV%) and was put on waivers this past season and claimed by Pittsburgh, St. Louis, and then Chicago again in a weeks time.

Well I grew up in Campbell River BC, where Rod Brind'Amour apparently also grew up. I never saw him play there.

I've lived the past couple years (and my mom still lives) in Dryden, Ontario. Chris Pronger is from there.

Right now I'm living in Sherwood Park, Alberta, where Cam Ward (and a host of other guys) are from. Summer league hockey is crazy, get guys back from the A and the dub and the coast leagues. Fun stuff.

Nick Foligno, Ottawa's first-round pick in the 2006 entry draft, lived in Hershey while his dad was coaching the Hershey Bears; the family later moved to Sudbury when Mike began coaching the Sudbury Wolves and Nick was playing on the team. Real nice kid, played pickup hockey with him a few times.
