Turtle Bob has finally made it to the SMJHL draft he didn’t think this day would ever come. After playing in the ECHL as a minor for the Newfoundland Growlers the last couple seasons he noticed more and more scouts coming to watch him play. Scouts for the NHL Europe leagues and of course The SHL scouts. As soon as he heard there were scouts from SHL coming to his games he started playing out of his mind. Being one of the best two way defensemen in the ECHL as a young lad the scouts loved his game. Bob can pass he can score and he can defend as good as anyone else. Averaging over a point per game leading the league in Shots blocked and take aways. Bob is beyond ready to join the SMJHL ranks.
Even growing up in the minor hockey leagues he was always a step ahead of all the kids his game was way too good to be playing in the minors he wasn’t long taking over the local hockey leagues which is what net him the start to his young career in the ECHL.
Now Turtle Bob is doing what he can to drive his draft stock up so high as he can get it. He has been playing in the world juniors Tournament (which he gotten the MVP leading Canada to gold) and also practicing with former SHLer Jim Lahey to bring him up to speed with how they play in the SHL/SMJHL.
