The Jr. Hurricanes spring team (Jets) competed at the Pre
Draft Tournament this past weekend in Walpole, MA. One of
the most prestigious Jr. Tournaments in the country, the Pre
Draft hosted over 70 teams from all over North America in a
three game round robin tournament that was heavenly scouted
by NCAA, NHL and Jr. Scouts from across the country. Even
though the Jets did not make the cross-over, once again they
proved that the players from the south can compete.
The Jets offense was
controlled mostly by the line of John McGinnis, Jeb Goddard
and Kevin Goumas who tallied 17 points in three games
amongst each other. Leading the way was CHA leading goal
scorer John McGinnis with 7 points. On the defense side,
Chris Oertel, Jake Ninko did a great job controlling the
blue line and goalie Tommie Shears held onto a 1.66 GAA
through the three games. “It was a great tournament for
these players top gain more experience and at the same time
get several coaches taking notice.” Say’s Head Coach
Shawn Ray.
Next up for most of these
players is the Hub Cup Tournament in June and then we are
heading to the Jr. Chowder Cup tournament in July where the
Jets made it to the final four out of eighty teams last
year. www.proamhockey.com
