Asunto: U18 Canada National Team

Pleased to introduce:

Timothee Connelly 17 - LD - Too Legit to Quit
Chad McClennon 17 - G - Vancouver Raccoons
Neal Bishop 18 - LD - Infidels
Dalton Agnew 17 - C - Darkest Knights (Belarus 2.II)

As primarily window dressing...

That is 41 now and we will add another four guys or so early next week, probably all 16 year old's, so again don't feel shy to share your guys with us. As always, if you notice a team with upper level facilities headed towards the scrap heap, please let us know and we will leave four or so spots on the team for players that you are interested in saving.

Krokador gave me the suggestion to check out the dumpster that I was in today and, lo and behold, look what I pulled out of the BFI bin!

Jude Clayton 17 - UD - Tylinx (France 2.II)

Is capping him in wise judgement? Probably not, but if you ever see a typical companion leaving the local pub at last call you would see the similarity in poor judgement. And I am sure she would feel the same way...Am I proud that he is on the team? Well, from the perspective of a post-meal scavenger, then sure, of course! When you go rooting around in the really low-grade trashcans and pull out a "not-that-bad" guy like Clayton then you can hold your head up high(ish)...

Also from the trash - please welcome...

Tylor Sheehan 18 - RD - Zamora Wolves (Spain 2.I)

to help shore up the weaknesses we have at the blue line. Will add a few 16 year old's by mid-week.

I gotta say, I'm not sure what kind of trash you're looking at to find these guys. Or how I ever made you think to look wherever it is you are looking now, haha.

In the end, we will back out of our (threat) to play 16 year old's. Not really proud of our blue line but, in all fairness, it could be a hell of a lot worse. We have added two final players -

Elian Leiprecht - 17 - RW - Winnipeg Falcons

(who I somehow forgot to add earlier...) and

William Sutton - 16 - UD - Yardware Snakes

obviously the key guy for the next teams' seasons. We still have 5 slots remaining so let us know if you would like us to save someone from the scrap heap.

Geoffrey Harrington
If you are desperate for a RD, take a quick look at him I guess !

A bit too late now but we will add him to the master list and pass it on up when the guy graduates.

Yeesh...look at that Technique...that has been the story of our D-men the last two seasons...

The election is an opportunity for me to have some fun and make a mess of a resume. The truth of the matter is that, should the GM's of Canada wish, I will step down and not run against a manager who wishes to try their luck. I simply love the job and will continue to sign up until someone tells me to stop. The tenure of John Clit and I running the team has been one of responsibility at best. We both really enjoy what we do and will continue to offer to do it until someone tells us differently...

Do it. You're the man for the job, as ungrateful as it may be.

As for myself, I have always taken the path of facilities and arena building. I hope to contribute more in coming seasons to the development of Canadian talent. Especially thanks to my lvl 15 training facility coming in 45 days.

Glad to see that Aiken made the team: I had to send him away for better development and for capitalistic purposes, but he is still the first great pull from my team.

Here is another guy that might be interesting for the defense.

Brock Leblond is a young 16 yo hockey player from Microbrasseurs territory who exiled last ssn to Slovakia in order to better his future as a hockey player. He sadly lost a degree of career longevity, but he may still turn into the outstanding citizen he had the potential to be when he was shipped away for 24M$. Everybody has a price!

Happiness is sending away your problems when they turn 19. We dont care - our job is to take the best Now and not worry about longevity issues. Thanks for the tip!

Happy to announce that -

Ryan Kidd 16 - C - Ghost Squad

has joined the Canadian U18 roster as a future consideration. Trips back to Canada tend to wash the brain clean and we didn't want to forget about this guy during the shuffle.

As for the above, Leblond, he is on our master list so we were aware of him and he will not be lost either.

At the club level, we can just trot out Miriam Estuary or Jordan Le Pip and blame them for meddling in player operations. Sadly, at the national level, there is no one to blame but yourself...
