Hurry up, get a good deal and blow this popstand called the PG cougars Mr. Connolly.
Congrats to Brett. Hopefully he can have a successful and healthy U-18 tournament and show everyone that he definitely deserves this ranking.
Good luck! Can't wait to see him here next season.
There is NO WAY IN HELL Brett Connolly should be 3rd in the Country. He has hardly played Hockey this season.
Who's picking these people-His Dad ?
That's how BAD that is.
