I was extremely quiet with this blog in the off-season, and skipped quite a bit of Tiger News, but other sources have done a much better job at relaying information (especially now that twitter and facebook all have whl/tiger feeds).
Now that hockey season is around the corner its time to start this blog back up.
Dylan Busenius (finally spelled his name right)
Dylan Busenius participated in the Minnesota Wild's prospect camp this off-season. Dylan must have done well enough because he is listed on the roster for the Minnesota Wild's Traverse City prospect camp. So that makes 10 Tigers in total invited to prospect camps. Read the Medicine Hat News Article for More information on the other 9 Tigers going off to NHL Camps.

I'd also be a little surprised if Mathew Konan does not eventually get an invite somewhere. He is a big body, long reach, stay at home physical defenceman, who has the potential to skate the puck out of the zone. I'm hoping this kid put some muscle on in the off-season. I still think he has a degree of pro potential in him at least of ahl quality, but he still needs to get stronger and quicker.

Ironically, the News broke the story that Busenius was going to the Minnesota camp earlier this summer. Funny how they'd now not report it.
Well to be fair the minnesota roster was a late release right before the MH News article. Unless you really knew where to look it would have been hard to find.
Well we k now that Wheaton King is coming to the main camp and rumors is that another Wheatie release player is also, Jon Gaudet
I have a former student at camp trying out (longshot, I understand), but I am wondering if you are going to be watching any of the camp. And if so, can you give me your impressions of him? (Taylor Allan)
Many thanks (and I understand if you are not taking in the tryouts - life is only so long, eh?).
Not sure If I'll make rookie camp, but I intend to check out the black and white Intrasquad game at the end of main camp.
If he is still their I'll keep an eye out for him.
Many thanks
I am going to the top 40 game tomorrow, I will let you know if he is playing in that game.
@ Bar Qu, your friend Taylor Allan was not in the top 40 game.
Any thoughts or synopsis for the top 40 game? Any standouts?
