Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 79: A decade of USCHO
This is true. Hell, a coach once told Tomas Holmstrom that he'd be better off learning how to gut fish, because he had a brighter career as a cod fisherman than an pro hockey player. Joe Sakic's Junior coach took Joe's sticks and ran them through a wood chipper, telling him he'd never make it as a pro. And Mario Lemieux's high school coach broke Mario's legs in three places (each), because "[Mario's] being on the ice was offensive to the entire sport of ice hockey."
I can't back any of this up.
they (lil) are still young and have lots of time to improve.... remember, colin wilson was cut from his team as a 15 yo
