The WHL announced the list of WHL players being invited to NHL training camps. 150 players have been invited in all. 5 of those are from our very own Victoria Royals. The list includes:
Roman Horak
The Calgary Flames invited this former Chilliwack Bruin to their training camp. The sizeable forward posted back-to-back 20 goals seasons for the Bruins.
Ryan Howse
The Flames also invited this former Bruin as well to their training camp. Ryan Howse had three straight seasons with the Bruins, where he scored at least 30 goals per season. He finished last year with 51 goals.
Curt Gogol
This gritty forward was extended an invitation to training camp by the San Jose Sharks. Gogol had a career high 12 points last year, and racked up 142 penalty minutes.
Tyler Stahl
The Carolina Hurricanes invited this tall and gritty defenceman to their camp. Stahl had 10 points last year with the Bruins, but should his strength and size as he collected 182 penalty minutes.
Kevin Sundher
Lastly, but not least, the Buffalo Sabres invited veteran WHL forward Kevin Sundher to training camp. Sundher is one of the leaders on this Royals team. He has size, skill, and a mean streak. Last season, with the Bruins, Sundher collected 76 points while adding 93 penalty minutes.
I wish all the players luck in their attempt to make an impression on some NHL teams.
