Maybe there's a modern day Stephane Yelle in there someowhere but a long road to get to that.
Not sure if Yelle is the comparable. Maybe Derek Ryan? Who was also a late bloomer.

Well, I'll be gob smacked. I hosted this site for a decade and a half, and have been around a decade more, and Tacoman, I just was hit by the realization reading the previous posts that I've known you for 40 years (through your brother). Congrats to you and Carter! I definitely feel very old, and slow, as I post this!

Grandson of Frank King, who was instrumental in bringing the 1988 Olympics to Calgary,

I think you mean Frank?

Oh neat.

There would be something fitting about Frank King's grandson being in the Flames lineup for the final game at the Olympic Saddledome.



I hope it happens.

So what does this guy project to be?

If we sign him, will it he be a near gurantee in our opening night roster? Or is he going to have to prove it the the AHL.

Longshot. As are most 24 year-old NCAA free agents.

Just for clarity, Frank and Ken are not related.
Carter is not related to Ken.

When I was 16 (maybe 17) I came out of the Silver Dragon downtown and climbed into what I thought was my dad's car.

Looked up front and Frank King looked back confused, and wondering why a blond kid with a mullet was in his car.

Both had grey 1985 Audi 5000 cars.

Was pretty embarrassing.
