Top North American goalie: Mackenzie Blackwood (http://www.nhl.com/ice/draftprospectdetail.htm?dpid=97521), Barrie Colts (OHL)
2013-14: 51 games, 33-14-2, 3.09 GAA, .906 save percentage, 2 shutouts, 1,612 shots, 1,460 save
Height/weight: 6-4, 215
Who is the NHL player your play would most likely be compared to: "Mike Smith (http://www.nhl.com/ice/player.htm?id=8469608) or Pekka Rinne (http://www.nhl.com/ice/player.htm?id=8471469)."
Best asset: "My quickness, size and speed."
Where do you need improvement: "Playing the puck; I can improve several areas of my game."
NHL Central Scouting: "Mackenzie's overall net coverage is excellent. He's able to get across laterally with ease and very quickly, always being in control. Another advantage is when he drops in the butterfly he covers the lower corners post-to-post with his excellent leg extension while sealing the ice. While he's in the butterfly he also keeps his upper body in an upright position with his glove in the proper position as well to cover the upper half of the net. There are not many holes for the shooters to shoot at."

If he's there with our the top pick of Round 2 I think we nab him, assuming we don't trade the pick for a veteran.

I could see a few hockey rinks in Mexico but I would have never guessed there were any in South Africa.
