September faceoffs

Posted in International, Junior By GilbertPortland On September 10, 2015

Hockey is getting going and leagues are moving from camp to regular season games.

The QMJHL gets underway TODAY.

You will have to wait 2 more weeks for the OHL & WHL to start playing for real.

However the fight for the #1 and 2 picks in the 2016 NHL draft may go on exclusively in Europe.

Jesse Puljujarvi is already playing pro with Finland’s Kärpät Oulu while Auston Matthews will join Switzerland’s ZSC Lions after he turns 18 on September 17th. With the WJC in Helsinki this year you may not see those two live in North America again before they get to the NHL.
