For those who don't frequent into The Back Burner that often, this is what Drury18 had to say about how Hathaway did this year. Should really read the rest of it for the rest of our players in Adirondack if you haven't already.

Spoiler!

It seems like his experience at Flames camp was a carrot for him to have a great season with the AHL Flames He went into places other players wouldn't touch, he dropped and blocked shots that no one wanted to touch and he made his name as a shot blocking special teams expert. Since the start of the season, he has had or shared the lead for team PPG. He's tied for the lead in Rookie AHL shorthanded goals and points. And this weekend, he cracked the Top 20 for AHL Rookie points with his 19G and 15A and is 4th on the team in shooting percentage. Oh, and he's done it all only missing 1 game this season because he was extremely banged up at the end of a 3 in 3 weekend. If the Flames don't offer Hathaway a contract soon, some other NHL team will. He could easily be next year's Josh Jooris.
