Hurricanes sign Brock McGinn to entry-level contract
The Hurricanes have signed yet another one of their junior prospects after coming to terms with Brock McGinn on a three-year entry level deal. McGinn was one of the team's 2nd round picks in last year's draft and he just finished his third season with the Guelph Storm with 26 goals and 54 points in 68 games. McGinn will be reporting to the Charlotte Checkers for the remainder...
Hurricanes CHL Prospect Update: NHLE Values
The Canadian Hockey League's regular season ended this weekend and some good news for Hurricanes fans is that many of their prospect's respective teams made the post-season and will have a chance to put themselves on the map this spring. Some of them are already well-known in the hockey community, but the playoffs are always a great opportunity for a player to create a lot...
Hurricanes Prospect Update 2/11 - 2/17
Big offensive performances are somewhat common in junior hockey and you'll often see more than a few players record at least a point in every game they played in a given week. We've seen this a few times with the Hurricanes CHL prospects this year as both Ryan Murphy and Brock McGinn have put together some impressive offensive weeks over their career but none of their recent...
Hurricanes Prospect Update 1/29 - 2/2
Prospects sometimes become a bit of an afterthought when the NHL season gets rolling, but don't think we have forgot about them, as there is still a lot to report on regarding those in Carolina's system. This week wasn't as eventful as the last, but there were a couple big standouts. The most notable one was clearly Phil Di Giuseppe who had five points in two games with...
Hurricanes Prospect Update: 1/21 - 1/28
The prospect reports are going to be presented differently from here on out. Instead of going through each player individually, we're going to go by leagues and note some of the standout performances. The reason for this is because there have often been a lot of cases where there wasn't much to report on for some players because they were either injured, suspended or didn...
Hurricanes CHL Prospect Update 1/14 - 1/20
It was a bad opening weekend for the Hurricanes, but one thing that fans can perhaps take solace in is that their CHL prospects all had terrific weeks for the most part. What does this mean? Well, not a whole lot in the grand scheme of things but it's hard not to get excited when you hear that one of your team's prospects had four goals in three games like Brock McGinn did...
Hurricanes CHL Prospect Update: 1/8 - 1/13
This is an exciting time for many junior hockey players, as a select grouping of them just returned from participating in the World Junior Championships in Ufa, Russia. If that wasn't enough, the NHL training camps just started up and there were plenty of junior hockey players invited to join the teams who own their NHL rights for a chance at playing in the big leagues. Even...
Hurricanes Prospect Update: 12/24 -12/31
This is going to be a different update than ones in the past because we are at the part of the year where teams are returning from their holiday break and playing a partial schedule. There are also quite a few teams icing much different lineups due to the World Junior Championships currently going on right now. So, instead of looking at each player individually, I'm going to...
Hurricanes CHL Prospect Update: McGinn's big week
It has been a rough month of November for the Guelph Storm, as they have gone through a bit of a cold spell after starting off the season on a very strong note. They had won only three of their 10 games in November heading into last week and were losing ground in the race for the top spot of the Western Conference of the OHL. While the team wasn't playing very well, Hurricanes...
Hurricanes Prospect Update: CHL (10/21 - 10/28)
Just about every Hurricanes CHL prospect had an offensive explosion last week and I was very excited and cautiously optimistic to see how they would build off their performances? Why cautiously optimistic you ask? Because while they definitely showed how good they could be last week, the majority of them had been struggling up until that point and this could have been just a flash...
Hurricanes Prospect Update: CHL (10/15 - 10/22)
Up until last week, the performance of Carolina Hurricanes prospects that are currently playing in the Canadian Hockey League has been a bit underwhelming to say the least. That all changed this past weekend as almost every Carolina prospect had an explosive performance and have finally started to make more of an impact on the scoresheet than they were before. The biggest name in...
The Loose Cannon
Andrey Pedan (OHL Images)
A seriously light schedule on Sunday with just 2 New York Islander prospects in action and no New York Ranger prospects. Andrey Pedan (NYI 2011 3rd) and his Guelph Storm were looking to extend their unbeaten streak to 9 games against the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds.
The Storm behind Pedan's 1-2-3 evening had little problem with the Greyhounds whipping...
Hurricanes Prospect Update: CHL (10/9 - 10/15)
I am usually not one to panic or jump to irrational conclusions but it's hard not to get a little frustrated when you look at the scoring lines of most of the Hurricanes CHL prospects so far this year. The leader in points is Trevor Carrick with four points in eight games and their top prospect, Ryan Murphy, has only one point in eight games. Adding to that, there have been only...
Hurricanes Prospect Update: CHL (9/26-9/30)
Last week, there were a few youngsters in the Carolina Hurricanes system who shined in the opening weekend of the Canadian Hockey League and it was mainly some of the organization's lesser-known prospects like Brock McGinn and Keegan Lowe. It was good to see those players stand out but some of the team's more highly touted prospects such as Ryan Murphy had very quiet performances...
Weekend Prospect Update: CHL
As many of you know by now, the Canadian Hockey League started up their regular season this weekend and there were quite a few Carolina Hurricanes prospects who were in action. The most noteworthy name of the bunch is obviously their 2011 first round pick Ryan Murphy, who is serving as the top defenseman and team captain of the Kitchener Rangers but he didn't come close to having...
