DPlaya ---- 3/25/2009Hockey in Wisconsin has learned that WCHA Player of the Year Jamie McBain signed a professional contract with Carolina last night. As far as I can tell, this news has not yet been released by any official sources or traditional media outlets.
At today's team meeting where McBain's contract was revealed, all other Badger players indicated that they expect to return to the Badgers, meaning the team currently expects a whopping 29 players on it's roster next season (18 forwards, 9 defensemen & 2 goalies). According to my source, it is nearly inevitable that a number of players will transfer, remain in junior hockey or choose to play elsewhere due to the logjam of players on the roster. Stay tuned for an interesting Summer of Badger hockey action....I'll do my best to bring you the details as they unfold.

Jamie McBain signing with Carolina.
DPlaya is reporting that Junior defenseman (7g-30a-37pts)is going to sign a professional contract with the Carolina Hurricanes. That is a big loss for the Badgers if it is true.

ReplyDeleteNot remotely unexpected though. Every Badger fan figured he was gone.
ReplyDeleteMore important is that Ryan McDonagh and Cody Goloubef will be back. Top pairing in the country next season.
GL to the Sioux this weekend.
I personally think he is a good player and I dunno maybe its good he stay three years and wasn't a one and done like some of the ones that have come and gone at Minnnesota. I wonder if he will get to play a few games with Canes this spring?
