crosskore 0 Report post Posted June 26, 2004 I was just wandering if anyone knew someone on MSH or Corebeam who went really far in hockey. Like, did anyone start comming on corebeam or MSH when they were in midget or something and then became a regular here and made it to the WHL or NHL or anything? I just thought it would be cool if someone grew up going to this forum and neded up going to the nhl or whl. Does anyone know someone like that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JR Boucicaut 3803 Report post Posted June 27, 2004 As far as these kids shoot slappers nowadays, MSH will be churning out pros in NO TIME... Well, I got a "call-up" to play in a minor-league game back in March, does that count? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JR Boucicaut 3803 Report post Posted June 27, 2004 LOL exactly!The story is, the Miami franchise of the WHA2 was having problems and a bunch of their players walked out. They then started looking for guys to play one game, and I know the coach. He called me on the last game of the season but I had to work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Briggy 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2004 When i went to a seals game against the barracudas i noticed that none of the guys on the ice had that great of a shot, and they looked like they didnt know how to play defense. Not sure, but what level of hockey is that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JR Boucicaut 3803 Report post Posted June 27, 2004 Lowest level of minor league hockey, it's below the UHL/CHL...It's actually horrible hockey. I went to pretty much every game last year...because a) I know everyone, B) tickets were free, and c) beer. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kosydar 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2004 I remember reading about the Orlando team in THN...something about the goalie being called up from the adult leagues or something. Its vague now, but it was pretty funny because this guy had a full time job. JR will surely know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JR Boucicaut 3803 Report post Posted June 28, 2004 Did that show up in THN?That is a good friend of mine too...actually Eric played for three of the franchises that year. Very good goalie, however I know how to beat him (and it's the reason why he's not in the pros). He gets spooked easily, and after that, he can't concentrate.That whole league is a mess. I was not happy to hear that the Seals' ownership pulled the sale off just because his league wouldn't thrive on 4 franchises. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
