I started posting giving updates of Tim Ramholt who was playing for the CB Eagles at the time. The following year the Flames drafted his junior teammate Adam Pardy, so I continued giving updates (hence the name Maritime Q~Scout).

If I had to put money on which of the two would have an NHL career and be playing 10 years later I would have said Ramholt hands down. No way did I think that Pardy would still be an NHL defenseman. I didn't think he'd get a whole lot more than a cup of coffee or at the most an entry level contract.

On the other hand Ramholt had a cup of coffee and went back to Europe.

Today the team doesn't really draft out of the Q, and looking at the Eagles schedule I appear to have missed when Gatineau was in town so no QMJHL Updates until next year I suppose. I suppose I could get the Eagles new play-by-play man to give a solid update of how he played in Gatineau for me (their new play-by-play guy is one of my oldest and friends). Heck, as I think while I type I'll start a thread on the main forum (or prospect form) with the link to the game to have a listen when it rolls around.


Additionally, T@T I'll PM you my cell number, text me when you're in town and we'll grab a beer.

HD, you are the sole poster I've met, and I can honestly say that I love the fact I'm not the only one living in Nova Scotia who is a Flames fan. Every time we get together it's so weird to talk to someone else who is a big fan of a team that I'm a fan of.
