Popular Post AlwaysACanuckFan Posted July 24, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2018 VANCOUVER -- Jett Woo has the name to become a fan favorite. The Vancouver Canucks plan to be patient and give the defenseman time to develop his game to match. Fans shouted "Woo" from the time he stepped on the ice at Rogers Arena, with every hit and shot, and all the way down the ice during his turn in a shootout at the Canucks Summer Showdown Top Prospect Game that wrapped up their annual development camp. "When I stepped on the ice I thought they were booing me at the beginning, but it turns out they were just yelling my name," Woo said. "It's kind of neat to have that support and love from such a big fan base." Woo felt that support away from the rink in Vancouver as well. Named after China-born actor Jet Li, who was supposed to stay with Woo's grandparents in Winnipeg when he first came to North America but went to Hollywood instead, Woo became the second-highest of Chinese descent to be selected when the Canucks picked him in the second round (No. 37) of the 2018 NHL Draft. Only New York Islanders forward Joshua Ho-Sang was drafted higher (No. 28 in 2014), making Woo popular in a region with 500,000 residents of Chinese origin. "I already had people come up and welcome me and want to take pictures with me," Woo said. "It's just awesome to have so much support." The Canucks drafted Woo, who turns 18 on July 27, knowing the hard-hitting, right-shot defenseman will need similar support on the ice to round out an already stout defensive game. Projected to be a first-round pick, the 6-foot, 205-pound defenseman missed 6 1/2 weeks last season with a separated shoulder and another month with a hip injury. He finished with 25 points (nine goals, 16 assists), 33 penalty minutes and a plus-29 rating in 44 games for Moose Jaw of the Western Hockey League. "This kid is a warrior," Canucks director of player development Ryan Johnson said. "This is a high, high-character kid that is very raw in his approach to a lot of things about the game, which we get excited about because that's where our resources come in from a development side." Woo will take what he learned at development camp to Hockey Canada's World Junior Showcase tournament in late July. That invite gives him a head start to play in the 2019 IIHF World Junior Championship being held in Vancouver and Victoria this winter. "The biggest thing right now personally is I want to round [out] my game," Woo said. "Ever since I was a little kid I have been able to play the defensive side of the puck and that was one thing I took pride in, so to shape up my game and figure out everything else, along with getting bigger, faster, stronger, and the tools you need to make the NHL is something I need to work on." He already has the name for it. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm predicting this kid will have an "A" on his Canucks jersey when we win the Stanley Cup. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 This past season Woo won over coach Hunter for more minutes when Josh Brooks was injured during the latter half of the WHL season. Wonder if Woo can win over Hunter's gaze over Brooks who is considered Moose Jaw's best Dman after Kale Clague. Hoping Woo can do the same for Team Canada. Josh Brooks was invited to camp and is attending but due to injury, he is sitting out. Have to think though that Coach Tim Hunter may favour Brooks his number one dman and likely go to bat for him to be on the team over Woo. One advantage is looking at team Canada's summer camp roster and invites, A lot of the Dman particularly on the right side are all puck moving dman, and all safe two way guys. Woo is the only one of 6 RHD invited to camp that plays a robust/in your face style, while being a very agile skater, could lead him to be that Utility/7th Dman for team Canada. I feel that different element in his game might give him an edge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGT68 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Am I reading the ages right? Woo born in July 2000 would be eligible for this year and next years WJC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to me that they typically seem to rebound pretty well. Anyone been watching Woo so far? I havent seen any game action, and not much in the way of reports so far...
