Mete Has Been a Plymouth Rock
Mete Has Been a Plymouth Rock
Ryan Poehling wasn’t the only Habs prospect who has impressed at the World Junior Summer Showcase in Plymouth, MI. Victor Mete has been one of the more solid blueliners for Canada at the event and Joni Ikonen has been solid in a second-line center role for Finland in three contests. One western conference scout has […]
