That's a long time to develop a NHL player. I intend to be around for a while longer.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred65 Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Did I hear that Government was making athletic costs tax deducible ?? That would help. It's not surprising that Rielly (TO ) and the Reinhart's graduated from Hollyburn LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 I haven't seen a recap of his season anywhere in the thread, so here it is... 50 games played (that's a lot more development time this year compared to a lot of kids that played in the OHL and WHL for example) 23 goals 20 assists 43 points A staggering +29 in only 50 games That was tied for fourth on team scoring (the other four players were 20 years old, Jackson is still 18). He was 10th in the USHL in scoring. Given his age (just missed the cutoff for the 2021 draft), and also comparing his basic stats to 2021 draft eligible players (Corronato, Cole Sillinger, Ayrton Martino and Josh Doan) ... I believe that Jackson Kunz would be drafted in the 2nd or 3rd round of the 2021 draft if he were a month younger. I'm cautiously optimistic about his Freshman season coming up in NCAA.

Marv-the-wet-bandit Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 He’s got a massive frame that isn’t done growing, a heavy and accurate shot and understands the role of playing a power forwards game. If he can get quicker and add some agility he has the potential to be an absolute steal and legitimate player for us. I’m excited to see his development over the next few years. I see him similar to McDonough, if their skating takes the next step and catches up to the rest of their games they can be very effective players in the future 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember seeing that first parachute skating clip on TV (maybe the old VU13 channel) and being more excited for a player who’d never touched NHL ice than I’d even been before in my life. EDIT: The whole thing was gimmicky AF and a bit of a media stunt, but at the time, it seemed like the coolest thing ever. EDIT2: Not that I’m knocking Bure, or any of the crazy training regimen he used back in the day, especially when working with his father. Vladimir Bure had some odd methods at times, but he was also pretty innovative for his day, and you can’t argue with the results he got with his son.

EDIT: The whole thing was gimmicky AF and a bit of a media stunt, but at the time, it seemed like the coolest thing ever. If you watched Bure’s upper body kind of bend back and then snap forward when he pulled through the hooks as he skated by defenders, you’d know why he pulled around a parachute - so that he had 5he leverage and body position to pull through resistance. There are some current players on the Canucks That would find value in the same training... not mentioning any names... but it ends ‘ettersson. Hoglander and Skriko were Scandinavians who did similar things. Skriko would be checked against the boards and then squeeze through... not bad for a guy 5’10 172. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 1 assist in two games so far for Jackson Kunz. He's a freshman at University of North Dakota in NCAA this year. Doesn't look like he's playing very high up the lineup out of the gate. Minor for elbowing thrown in there as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred65 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 (edited) I hope he's attending all his classes, if I know any thing about NCAA hockey it's primarily a 2 line game, primarily seniors.

I'm always impressed by the mental strength of these kids. How they persevere is a testimant to their courage. away from home and friends lots of study and travel. It's important they keep their studies up and graduate, Clarkson is a good school Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
