Favorites for the Cyber cup are of course the Vancouver Voodoo, and good chances for the Toronto Stallions, the Surrey Strangers and the current Cyber Cup holders, the Kingston Corinthians. The Grunts, Freeze and Venom and very strong as well.

Among those, 10 are original WHL1 Entry Draft Sparrows picks. Which is to say that 40% of the players that the Sparrows originally drafted are still with the team. Here they are: Player drafted ----------------------------- Tony Amonte WHL1 Travis Green WHL1 Martin Lapointe WHL1 Aaron Miller WHL1 Kevin Miller WHL1 Felix Potvin WHL1 Alex Selivanov WHL1 Jiri Slegr WHL1 Cory Stillman WHL1 **got through farm team draft** Martin Straka WHL1 Pierre Turgeon WHL1 Bryan Berard WHL2 Marc Denis WHL2 Roman Vopat WHL2 Josh Green WHL3 Scott Hannan WHL3 Al Iafrate WHL3 Steve McKenna WHL3 **undrafted and signed as Free Agent** Ed Ward WHL3 Trevor Wasyluk WHL3 You could add to that list 2 retired players who were drafted by the Sparrows and retired still as Sparrows: Stephan Lebeau WHL1 **retired after WHL1** Todd Nelson WHL1 **farm team draft, retired after WHL2** Some of you older GMs might think that Kelly Miller has been forgotten in the list, but he hasn't. He was a draft pick by the Boston Agent Orange, and immediately traded to the Sparrows for Mike Keane. The point of all this: if you don't know by now, when Chicoutimi Sparrows GM Michael Hebert likes a player, there isn't much chance that you can get him :) Thanks to all those who contributed to this edition of WHL OffSides. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael Hebert Web Hockey League Commissioner Occasional Editor of WHL OffSides
