THN.com Blog: Rooting for some training camp underdogs

[Pheebs888]

By Rory Bollen

A year ago I wrote a training camp blog about five players I was eager to watch try and make their teams. Not necessarily because there were great, untold stories behind any of them, but because my fantasy pool team needed at least one of them to graduate.

Well, here we are 369 days later and there’s a new batch of NHL hopefuls I’m looking to for the future of my franchise. Our league, the CEHL, is full of friendly and furious rivalries, and the winner is awarded the Smitty Cup – an imaginary chalice with very real competition. I’m still quite a long way from winning that bit of bragging ammunition, but if two of the players on this year’s list can graduate again – like Jonathan Ericsson and Michel Frolik did last season – then my competition better brace themselves in the near future…though I’m sure they will tell you otherwise.

Well see if any of his picks make a impact. Thanks as on or two names I had not heard.
