I am a season ticket holder with the Kingston Frontenacs. Sam Bennett is so much like Doug Gilmour with superior vision to make those sneaky passes that few can make. His stickhandling is something that can't be taught . He plays gritty and isn't afraid of the dirty areas and loves to get under the skin of the other teams players. He gives 100% every game just like his hockey idol Doug Gilmour . That is why he picked the number 93 in Kingston . Once he gets used to the NHL speed he will help any 3rd line in the NHL as a rookie.
Being a Calgary fan (I lived there for 10 years 1980 to 1990) I was so excited when they drafted him and am really pumped now that I hear they called him up. I got to know him personally away from the ice and can tell you he is a class act.
He is very good in both ends of the rink and him being a Gilmour fan that should not surprise the Calgary fans who watched Doug many years ago.
Whe you see him slide a slick pass into a spot that few could see and it lands on the tape of a players stick and ends up in the net you will see what I mean.
