Since we're talking jrA goalies,does anybody know if Kirk Rafuse of the truro bearcats is drafted by a major junior team? I believe he's only 16 and apparently has been playing some great hockey since their starter got hurt.....but it's hard to say how good he is....IMO Jr.A is nowhere near the caliber it was 5-6 years ago. With the Q getting weaker and weaker in nets I wouldn't mind seeing this kid get a shot...even tho we have Riopel as a starter,its never bad to have two good goalies. Rafuse wasn't drafted in the first 5 rounds last year, he is eligible for all 12 rounds this year. He is playing on the NS Canada Games team. The MJAHL is not as strong as 5-6 years ago, mostly due to them limiting 20 year olds, they are only allowed 8, used to be unlimited. The Q expanding in the Maritimes/NFLD has also taken up a lot of kids in the area that would normally play in that league. Another trend is seeing 15 and 16 year olds playing there, that was nearly non existant 5-6 years ago.

I know one scout that don't know him...........he was never drafted..... ;D ;D For the others that caught this, remember when Billy makes a mistake where he looks like he knows what he's talking about, but really don't......make sure you quote him so he can't delete his post later....... ;D I don't scout the WHL. So stop commenting on things you don't know about then.

Too bad they had such a great crowd and had to get shut out in front of it. Hopefully this will draw more fans to the 4Plex next week though. Chances are it's a case of people enjoying soemthing for free, but are too cheap to pay for it afterwards.
