chris was drafted 4th round by ottawa

Way to go Chris

Congrats to Chris. What an awesome thing. Could someone remind me of how it works. I think by being drafted a team has your "rights" for two or three years. I remember reading the same thing when McKenna first got drafted by Nashville a while back and now he plays for Tampa Bay. Anyone know how this works?

that is very cool for him and his family...my son played with Chris for a short time....Im very proud to have seen that happening

hey Basil what do you think of Chris now

what happen to the other kids who were suppose to be better?

Was McRae not a Wideman fan?

Baisl considred chris a liabilty and the 5th D. Only reason Henry was on that team was b/c Basil felt they needed another D.
Henry was a great player and we needed him but not b/c Chris couldn't play. Their was another player on the team he could of replaced and the team could of kept Hutton.

OH Hutton that is a kid that went far. A legend, where did he land?

the only ones that have done anything are Wideman Larson.De Hart and McRae. Carey Logue Barron Henry. Played JR A in the states no big deal Bodker was cut from the Knights.

Bates Quit. Draper Freund Played H S. Hutton played a little with the Bandits. Carlton plays roller.Dwyer plays Roller for UMSL.

No big deal playing Jr. A huh? Wow, obviosly you don't know what it takes to get that far.

not much in the meaning that it is a great accomplishment but their basically done at 20.

Most likely never played and knew what it takes to play 60 or so games and have 100 or so practices not including working out. I myself would not have picked wideman to get drafted but you have to give it to the kid he did it and all we should say is congratulations. All the other kids didn't do as much as wides.

By the way what has Larson and Dehart accomplished? Nothing

4:46 And your hockey career lasted how long?

longer than yours

I heard recently almost all D1 players get drafted at some point, but many never get signed after finishing college, anybody know the truth?

I doubt it

There are a number of different paths to getting drafted OHL, CJHL, OPJHL, USHL, NAHL (rare) but a player can get drafted out of high school. Minnesota has its own self contained system where high school seems to be a pinnacle of activity
