QUEBEC CITY—Some of junior hockey’s biggest names are at the Memorial Cup, destined to go on to brighter and wealthier futures in the NHL.
But there are players here, too, like Oshawa Generals defenceman Dakota Mermis and Quebec captain Kurt Etchegary, both seeking the glory now because their futures are less certain.
Mermis is 21 and was overlooked in the NHL draft. He’s been to rookie camps, but he has no guarantee of a pro contract.
