Okay, well then they didn't include that in the article.
Yeah, it was late draft, so I didn't want to, I didn't know the rule change was going to happen, so I didn't want to be in the league for four years.
Yeah, exactly.
Of 07.
Yeah, there's no really point for me to.
Okay.
I was still getting my three years.
Well, I knew it was going to be slim pickings.
I had talked to Med Hat, the top teams, quite a bit.
Yeah, I actually signed with Med Hat before the draft.
They came and saw me at a tournament.
So I knew I was going there before the draft.
Yeah, they had first pick.
they had like 11 wins the year previous but it was a young team and then when I came in I was 14 I think we got to like we made playoffs that year so yeah I remember my first I think shift it was preseason and I was playing against Lethbridge going up against a guy who was like 6'3 like 230 pounds and I got the puck on the wall opened up and he came right at me blew me up
Did the exact same thing.
I opened up again, blew me up again.
And then I had a guy chasing around the whole game.
But it was a welcome to the league.
Not that year, actually.
I think because I had my cage on, guys were like, they didn't want to like be known as a guy going after the young guy.
