Import Draft

Stormfan said " Correct me if I am wrong but if Sparks comes here unsigned and still wishes to keep his NCAA eligibility intact he would not be able to play any pre-season games.
One would think that Brooks would want to see Sparks in more than scrimmages in order to decide whether he makes the club or not. If Sparks isn't given that chance to play in real games during pre-season perhaps his parents would not be super unhappy; he would still have college as an option. However, I’d image his parents would be totally disillusioned with the Storm if their son didn't receive a real chance to make the team?"


That would be correct if he has not signed. They are allowed so long in the camp for a show and tell. I think it is 48 hours, but not 100% sure. Unfortunately, the point is mute. He signed an agreement with the Storm. His NCAA eligibility is at this point toast. Take it from there..

I would love to know how many more NCAA schools have to be created to get all these hockey players on teams that use the NCAA card!
(not saying that's the case with Sparks but just in general)

Ok... after I stopped laughing... and sadly I have not been around lately to check this out.. heard lots about it second hand.. I have to say.. tongue firmly in cheek..

Hitek - read the following statement = "Guy Fieri host of one of my all time favourite shows -"Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" and I go way back. In fact those who have known me for a long time will realize I owned a 1967 Pace car that looks remarkably similar to the one he drives in the show. The reason, it is the one I used to own !!

So after appealing the ruling of the penalties as described by Stormtracker guy, to the highest court in the land. A jury of my wife, Mrs. McCollum, Tony Saxon's bride, Mrs. Surette, and Sarah Twigger - have found me guilty on all of those counts, plus 5 or 6 more that I was not even charged with.

As a result, I have all the penalties described previously to deal with, and a bunch I am not going to disclose here at this time.. but will be banned from the board for a while..lol... in the mean time, I have made a few trips to the states, and have had one of my favourite people (and a member of the jury) get me a quantity of beer which I now have squirreled away in a fridge.... so during my - "time out phase" be assured, I will still be smiling...

ttfn and I promise to to make any more errors.... of course, not sure I will make any less either !
