how crazy is it that Micheal Ferland was playing in the WHL after playing a total of three years of organized hockey? What a great story.

I'm not sure on all the details, but I've heard repeatedly out of Brandon that some of the parents on that AAA team even helped Micheal and his mom with some of the fees and perhaps gave him some used equipment and such so that he couple make the jump to AAA. Apparently even back then minor hockey parents saw something in this kid and wanted to make sure he was afforded every opportunity. Great story! He's making them all proud now!
