NHL Radar Map

Well it is the final time that the prospective list of players eligible for the 2009 NHL Entry Draft will be sorted and Wes McLeod still finds himself on that list. The Spruce Kings haven't had a player drafted straight off their roster since 1999 when Brad Fast was drafted by the Carolina Hurricanes. My fingers and toes will be sore by the time the July draft date hits, but if that is what it takes to hear Wes McLeod's name called out ... that would be a small price to pay. Wes has worked hard to get to where he is and he is the stereo typical good Canadian boy. This past season was a pivotal one with the second year defenceman signing a NCAA Division I scholarship, being selected to play in the Canadian Junior A Prospects Game and also the BCHL All Star Game. The only unfortunate in the season was the inability to get through that deciding game against the Penticton Vees and move deeper into the BCHL Playoffs. Speaking with Wes since the end of the season, he remains grounded and committed to making himself a better player every season.
