Nightly Hockey Hits: A Little Person with Big Dreams; the complete list of Oilers’ prospects; abuse of referees; a new name at World Junior camp

A ten year old from the Dundas, Ontario area dreams of becoming an NHL goaltender, despite his physical limitation. The IC staff looks forward to seeing you play young fella.
The Lowetide blog has an excellent recap of his recent series on the top 20 prospects in the Oilers’ system. Give this a read if you are into prospects. Excellent stuff here
An interesting story in the Montreal Gazette about the abuse that referees take while working in the minor league system. Tough gig for some of these young refs. I have heard first hand accounts of death threats, and trust me, these kids aren’t in it for the money.
Because its been a while, check out the Top Ten trivia from Psycho Lady Hockey. Very funny piece, with pictures.
In case you didn’t see the story on TSN, Wild prospect Tyler Cuma is headed to camp with Team Canada Jr. to replace the injured Patrick Wiercioch. I saw him at Wild camp this summer, and he is a steady defender who moves well. Very good choice.
