I just got a call from Osmo Rantakari who is a player agent from Finland. He is looking for players for the top league SM Liga. I have helped him find some good players over the years.

I coached his son Otso in Salzburg and he just won Rookie of the Year for the SM Liga and is going to the Islanders rookie camp. What a great skater he is and I am told he has the hardest shot in Finland. His hockey IQ is off the charts.

I thought is was neat to hear. Now I have been lucky enough to have played a small part in the development of an NHL Rookie of the Year, SM Liga Rookie of the Year, Hobey Baker winner, two other NHL players and lots of others who have played in various pro leagues around the world.
