Getting to Know the Future
It is fitting that the second prospect that we were going to introduce
to New York Ranger fans made his own splash on Monday. One of the
things we were going to point out about 2009 3rd round pick Ryan Bourque was that he wants to be his own person and not be compared to his father former NHLer Ray or his brother NHL prospect Chris.
On
Monday, Bourque made it past the first round of cuts as Team USA is
hosting an evaluation camp to help determine the roster for the 2010
World Under-20 Championships joining fellow Ranger prospects Chris
Kreider and Derek Stepan.
Bourque holds dual citizenship because
he was born in Massachusetts while his father was playing for the
Bruins. Bourque choose the US program over the Canadian program as part
of walking his own path.
Like his brother Chris, Ryan is a
forward rather than following in his father's footsteps as a
defenseman. Like his brother we think Bourque made a mistake in the
path he took trying to make it to the NHL but more on that later.
