Grain of salt? The bchl has a phenomenal record of producing elite ncaa and nhl players. The fitzgeralds will be elite ncaa players and would tear up the ushl every bit the same way as they do in bc. Have you ever looked at the elite ncaa players who come from bc? Why do you suggest the grain of salt?

No way in hell can the worst WHL beat up on BC, North Dakota, or Minnesota. Sudbury barely beat a USHL team at the Junior Challenge.

Comment on Full Shields Could Be Eliminated. Is It A Good Thing? by Ted Barnhart

I can’t disagree with your logic, but at the same time it just seems silly that a kid playing in the USHL (assuming he is 18+) has to put the mask back on when he plays NCAA, then take it back off again if he play pro.

Dickhead : More physical aspects of college hockey? Are you insane? Ever been to a WHL game? The worst WHL team would destroy the best D1 team. Get up North and catch a game before commenting ya dumb yank.

No way. Most college teams would beat the WHL teams. Good college teams have the same number of drafted players as good WHL teams. WHL teams are full of 16-20 year olds, while NCAA teams are made of of 18-24 year olds - -older, stonger and more mature. Did you ever notice how guys who struggle in college hockey suddenly start scoring with big numbers in the WHL? I look at the some NH: drafted second-round d-men who all struggled at Denver for playing time for example (TJ Fast, Keith Seabrook and William Wrenn). When they jumped to the WHL, they were all suddenly power-play QBs and important players.
