came facing few francis league line mario ron
When I came to play in Pittsburgh, I had been in the league 11 years. I had been through the ringer a few times, but when I was put on a line with Mario and Ron Francis I was intimidated. I don't want Sid facing that.
adapt asked best confidence difference extremely game junior league major players pleased speed
I'm been extremely pleased with the way he has progressed and the confidence level. When I asked him about the difference between major junior and the world (junior) championship, he said the speed of the game is way higher. It is. It's the best league in the world but players like that adapt quickly.
