A Croatian hockey fan I talk to from time to time speaks very highly of him. Don't know how much of this is just nationalistic fervour for a countryman (I'm guilty of this with Danish players). But he's a pretty knowledgable guy who actually watched Rendulic first hand quite a bit when he was coming up so I give some weight to his opinion. I also love how Rendulic describes himself and how aware he is of his own strengths and weaknesses. You can't come away from that interview without feeling like this is a very smart hockey player. And I definitely have a soft spot for smart players (as evidenced by how highly I rate Gaunce). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaudette Celly Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 The addition of Rendulic, Carcone, and hopefully Roy will be a big boost for Utica, whose lineup is much in need of offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mll Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 By McIntyre in The Province: http://theprovince.com/sports/hockey/nhl/vancouver-canucks/from-croatia-with-love-for-hockey-rendulic-trying-to-make-history-with-canucks From Croatia with love for hockey, Rendulic trying to make history with Canucks WHISTLER – The greatest player in the history of Croatian hockey was playing poker with his friends in Zagreb when he hit the jackpot and signed with the Vancouver Canucks. All Borna Rendulic has to do now is actually make the National Hockey League team. The Canucks appear to be giving him a fair chance, playing the 24-year-old winger at training camp alongside Sven Baertschi and Bo Horvat. Granted, the Croat may only be keeping those core NHL players company until Canuck Jannik Hansen returns from the World Cup. But Rendulic has gone through a lot to have this chance and does not plan to go meekly to the Utica Comets, which is likely where he is headed. Croatia has only 562 registered players among its population of nearly 4.5 million, so Rendulic left home at age 15 to play junior hockey in Finland. “Hockey in Croatia is pretty bad,” he said before Sunday’s scrimmage here. “Two indoor rinks in the whole country. My age, when I was younger, there was only one team. So it was pretty tough to make it and I knew I wanted to do this, so I moved to Finland when I was 15 years old and spent seven years there. I did all junior, then signed as pro, then signed with Colorado. “It’s been really hard. When you come from a different country, you are like the import. You’ve got to get used to the life and the language and all the things around you. I was really lucky to have good people who taught me how to play hockey.” He signed his first NHL deal two years ago with the Colorado Avalanche, for which Rendulic played three games. But last season he had 16 goals and 38 points in the American Hockey League with San Antonio, and when the Avalanche chose not to qualify Rendulic and he became a free agent on July 1, the Canucks signed him to a two-way deal that includes a healthy $200,000 if he plays in the AHL this season. He is 6-foot-2 and fast, and plays a straight north-south game. “My agent called me one night,” Rendulic said. “I was playing poker with my friends; it was like 11 p.m. He said: ‘Are you interested in playing for the Canucks?’ I said: ‘Yeah, what’s the deal?’ After 10 minutes, I called him back and said ‘Yeah, I’ll sign with the Canucks.’” Goran Bezina is believed to be the first Croatian to play in the NHL when he logged three games with the Phoenix Coyotes in 2003-04. But Bezina grew up in Switzerland, and Rendulic said he is the first player born and raised in Croatia to play in the NHL. “In the hockey world there, I’m kind of famous,” he said. “But it’s not like I’m famous in the country.” Maybe he’ll be famous in this one.

saucypass Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Really rooting for this kid to get some regular season games in. When you watch him play, you can really see the potential. Rendulic just needs to keep himself motivated at all times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobart16 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Another guy I am excited to see with the Comets this year. Very athletic. A little Green time is going to do him a world of good. I bet he gets a call up this year if there is a normal distribution of injuries. Virtanen probably starts here too this year. We are going to have some horses in the forward position. D looks a little less intimidating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky to have Pedan clear waivers, Stetcher should bring some great fitness and speed.. not sure if you get Brisboise this season,. But hope you do, he is a diamond in the rough. Rendulic just needs someone like TG to mentor him.. young man has all the tools, he and LaBate should be tough to play against. Hope every one I've mentioned here gets a chance to show again in Vancouver, they are all worthy. Pedan will stick with us once theres' some minor movement.
