Summer prospecting

I am not sure if everyone is burned out from a busy season or not. If not, I may have a tip to share.

Try checking in on any of your local hockey rinks. A lot of former players work there as hockey instructors and it could make for easy pickings. While you are there, look for hockey camps that may be scheduled with current and former players.

Last year I added Yan Kaminsky to my collection just by going over to the Gwinnett (Ga.) Ice Arena.

This year, I plan on trying for Norm Beaudin (who sharpens Colin's hockey skates) over in Estero (he also runs a pro shop at the Clearwater (Fla.) Ice Arena) and Bob Joyce at the RVD Sportsplex in Orlando.

They may not be superstars, but they did get a chance in the NHL.
