Camp scrimmage

Andrew Campbell, Justin Azevedo, Brandon Kozun, Michael Pelech, Bud Holloway and non-roster invitee Ben Shutron scored goals in the scrimmage today, which lasted roughly an hour. The four goalies, Bernier, Zatkoff, Jones and Berube, split time in the scrimmage, which was sandwiched between two skill sessions.

Loktionov has not arrived at camp, although apparently there’s still a chance he will show up this weekend. It’s not injury-related, so there’s a good chance that it’s visa related, based on prior complications with foreign-based players.

I have interviews with Bernier and Teubert and a few things with Terry Murray, so look for that a bit later…

Big crowd at dev. camp

Probably around 150 on hand for the first official session of the developmental camp in El Segundo. It’s supposed to be split in two groups, ’09 draft picks in one and prospects in the other, but there’s already some crossover. There’s a break at the moment, before a scrimmage game.

I’ll have some prospect and coach interviews later.

The Legend of Juraj Mikus

i-8128ce881975c81b95379a45fddc1dbf-mikus-thumb-300x200-29613.jpg

Juraj Mikus has the potential to become blog legend, along the lines of our Tommy’s vs. In-N-Out debate (the majority of you are still wrong, I must respectfully add…)

The non-roster forward on the ice at the development camp is indeed Juraj Mikus, who was a fourth-round draft pick of Montreal in 2005. Mikus spent the previous three seasons is Slovakia’s pro league and totaled 31 goals and 59 assists in 56 games last season. To be honest, I don’t know much about the level of competition in the Slovakian league, so maybe someone who closely follows international leagues can lend some opinion.

Mikus, 22, also played for Slovakia in the World Championships in 2008 and 2009. He spent one season (2006-07) in the QMJHL and had 29 goals and 42 assists in 60 games.
