Bryan Little is making a name for himself around the NHL so far in 2008-09. After playing in 48 games in his rookie year with the Thrashers in 2007-08, Little has ramped up his play and is really turning the heads of his teammates and opponents. Little is one of the Thrashers leading scorers and is using the hard-work and tenacity that he has shown at every level to continue to grow as an NHL Player.
“Bryan has really impressed with his abilities so far this year. He’s got great hockey sense and a great stick around the net, which is why he is finding the net so often. He’s been great for us.” ---- Atlanta Thrashers forward, Todd White Click here for more... |
'SKY' IS THE LIMIT FOR CARTER
Jeff Carter always listened to his father. So, as a young boy learning the game, when his dad told him to shoot the puck, Jeff obliged. So far in 2008-09, Jeff has once again been following his father’s sage advice and making his dad proud. The London, Ontario native is leading the NHL in scoring and along with his ‘Philly Sky Line’ linemates, helping to lead the Flyers to one of the better records in the Eastern Conference. Carter is on pace for a career season and is having a blast doing it.

Ty has been a part of all three of the outdoor games held by the NHL, something no other NHLPA member can claim. The Red Wings are hoping that Ty can use his experience to help them to glory on New Year’s Day.
