jammer2 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Nice article on the latest Cole Harbour native to make waves (yes, McKinnon is from Sid the Kid's hometown). Most have heard, the young 16 year prodigy has been recently snubbed by Team Canada for an invite to the World Jr's tourny upcoming in late December. Kid has amazing skill (as the video shows) and the very next game after the snub he responded by scoring 5 goals in a game, tying his all time franchise record. Really smart and super classy, this kid said all the right things. http://ca.sports.yahoo.com/juniorhockey/blog/buzzing_the_net/post/QMJHL-Nathan-MacKinnon-proves-a-point-with-5-go?urn=juniorhockey-wp4377 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I picked McKinnon (20th) in my top 20 scorers 4 years from now on a thread someone started when the board first fired up. Pretty tough to make Team Canadas WJ roster as a 16 year old. He'll be there next year. RNH didn't make it last year, and he's one of the top NHL scorers this year.
