Yes, the last team to do it was the New Jersey Devils.(95-96)

Wrong, wrong, wrong - Just look at the roster from any Varsity Canadian Hockey team, almost every guy on every team played Junior somewhere before. Sorry my friend not quite - Just for a quick example off the top of my head in last years NHL entry draft there were more than twice as many...

Wow Doc you just don't get it do you??? Corrections to things you got worng, in no particular order: 1) It does Not cost a bundle to go to a Canadian University 2) You do not play Canadian University hockey INSTEAD of playing Junior, you go after your Junior carreer is over. 3) There...

WOW now there's something to be proud of :rolleyes: Thats right Laugh fans 14 years ago you almost made it to the Cup Finals - they keep the bar set pretty low for you guys don't they. No he did not! You just completly made that up :mad:

Hang on a minute here. The percentage of kids who actually CHOOSE to play Junior "A" hockey of their own free will is very HIGH - Don't over generalize the entire system! A high percentage of these players have an opportunity to play hockey at a Canadian Univesity when they are done with...

Hey EB Try La Paryse (as mentioned earlier) I promise you won't be disappointed. Anther Local's favorite is DicAnns :D

Hey what happened to this thread :confused: Anyone see Florida repeat with the same 5 starters last night??? The Gators have now given Ohio State a sound beating in 2 National Championship Games in 2 different sports in the same year! Just Incredible! This gentlemen is why I don't...

Very Cool Gentlemen - By far the best thread going! The Toronto Maple Leafs, boy I don't even know where to begin??? I think the only thing worse than the Leafs and their fans is F**king TSN and CBC who think everyone in Canada is a Leafs fan!!! I can't stand watching them anymore...

EB, That would be kind of like asking the average student from Duke or UNC to name members of the US National Under 21 Hockey Team... Basketball in Canada is much like Hockey in the US. Especially when it comes to our National Team, if I'm not mistaken we don't even make it to the Olympics...

If you go north on De La Montagne 2 blocks from Ogilvy's (mentioned above) you will find Holt Renfrew on the corner of Sherbrooke - My favorite place to shop in Montreal (a little High end).

EagerBeaver, I didn't want to sound like a jackass when I answered you - I simply wanted to give you an answer - By the way you are right not to assume it would be in Lasalle (right now I'm in Quebec City and there happens to be a "Lasalle" street here too). Lasalle Catholic just happens...

Hey Mr.Beaver, Lasalle Catholic is in Lasalle (no I'm not trying to be a smartass) - Lasalle is on the island of Montreal to the west fo Verdun and east of Lachine, the Mercier Bridge starts (or finishes depending on your direction of travel) in Lasalle. I'm not a big basketball guy but I do...

I used to enjoy gambling from time to time (well maybe a bit more than that) anyway 1 night a few years back I won close to $15000.00 at Foxwoods, foolishly thinking I knew what I was doing I then headed down to Atlantic City to keep playing with "house money". Well my friends 4 days later I...

Yup Cleos I'm with MG_mtl, Cleos is one creepy place. Sure the bouncers and dancers maybe friendly (I don't know was only there once) but the building and location define "dive". A few others: St-Thomas (near Joliette) Cote St Paul - can't remember the name but its down near the canal...

Please! Do you really think that someone with a gambling addiction has stopped because he can't smoke while playing a VLT??? No, they just change venues and in many cases take their addictions "underground". Do you think smokers are the only ones who drink and drive???

Recycling money into the economy buy buying new skis or going on vacation is doing nothing for the people in the bar industry who have lost jobs or at minimum have seen hours and tips reduced. I'm actually not saving any money - I smoke so yes I do go out less BUT the way I make a living is...

Just in case any self righteous non-smokers think that the new smoking ban isn't costing millions (and jobs), here are a few facts: Statistics Canada reports that alcohol sales in the province of Quebec during the month of August (latest period available at this time) dropped by 8.5% or 6...

Thanks EagerBeaver I have to thank you EB for improving my Halloween experience. I'm working up in Quebec City these days and was asked by a friend if I would stay at her house and give out candy while she was at work (I don't work a regular day or night job) I accepted hoping for a little...

I'm starting to really like Kovalev at center, he has naturel size for the position and with a little more time I think he may en up being dominent in the face off circle. Crosby and Malkin are living up to hype - This is why I don't like Salary Caps or Parity! In a few years this possible...

Pretty interesting stats Dee. You will probably have a hard time finding the information you are looking for wolfman as players like Mike Ribeiro are Canadian with Portugese heritage. Most stats (like the ones Dee gave us) use nationality. I've checked all of the "hockey" related databases...
