SCHEDULE
The Sea Dogs website – and all other team websites –
finally have their 2012-13 schedule in easy-to-read form. That can be found
here.
The Sea Dogs begin the pre-season on August 17 at home
against PEI and the regular season on September 20 at home against Bathurst.
PANTHERS CAMP
Florida Panthers development camp begins today. Of
course, Sea Dogs captain Jonathan Huberdeau, the third overall pick in last
year’s NHL Draft, will be getting plenty of attention.
Because of his age, it’s the NHL or back to Saint John
for Huberdeau next season.
“Expect last year’s No. 3 pick Jonathan Huberdeau to be
on the Panthers this season because he is just 19 and has nothing else to prove
in juniors,” writes the Sun Sentinel’s Harvey Fialkov in a blog post. “The new
cap may be $70 million but the Panthers spend to their allotted budget which
means they probably have about $20 million available but will only spend about
half that. Remember they only have about 3-4 roster spots available this year
with Tyson Strachan slated to be up with the big guys. Huberdeau takes up
another spot.”
“Huberdeau could very well be the future of the franchise
if he can keep up the pace and I fully expect to see him on the ice in South
Florida next season,” writes Kris Eberwein of Yahoo!.
According to the Panthers website, the first practice of
camp is this afternoon at 2pm Atlantic.

JURCO
Hockey’s Future has named Tomas Jurco the Highest
Risk/Reward Prospect in the Detroit Red Wings system.
“His three-year stint in major junior hockey has come to
an end but with such creative skill, not a ton of defensive wherewithal and an
international transfer agreement still to hurdle over, Jurco is nearly the
dictionary definition of a boom or bust prospect,” writes Mike Farkas. “Provided
the contract situation works itself out naturally, Jurco will ply his trade
with the AHL’s Grand Rapids Griffins – his first taste of North American
professional hockey.”
COYLE
Fox Sports North had an article on Charlie Coyle last
week.
"You want to set your goals high, so I want to be on
the big team playing and I'm always going to play for a spot and work as hard
as I usually do," Coyle said. "This is my dream. So, yeah, I want to
reach it."
MORE JURCO
We’re not really sure what’s happening here, but Tomas
Jurco won some award. Unreal music.
If you read Slovak, here’s an article on Jurco for you.
