Yeah, I remember Mike Mathers quite well. Had a great game in the semi finals of the 92 Memorial Cup in Seattle when the Blazers clobbered the T-Birds in the semi-final. I remember my dad ordering tickets to the final the next day half way through that game after the Blazers blew it wide open. Him and Craig Lyons were pretty good junior players for the Blazers in 92 and 93. Shayne Green and Zac Boyer scored a lot in the day too. Difference is that none of those guys despite their gawdy numbers ever represented Canada at the World Juniors whereas Benn has. Than again another former Star Tyler Bouck who made two consecutive Canadian Junior teams in a row and was almost the Captain of the team when he was 19 never did a whole lot after junior. No doubt anything could happen.
