It’s been a long, strange journey this year for defenseman Troy Vance. Initially spotted as a dark horse draft candidate playing for the Philadelphia Revolution of the Eastern Junior League, the 6-foot-6, 200-pound blueliner found his way to Victoriaville of the Quebec League in the second half and helped the team to a decent playoff run. The end result was a fifth round selection (135th overall) by the Dallas Stars at the draft in Minnesota. The Stars, it turns out, helped Vance along the way in his QMJHL career decisions.
