Sharks GM Set For Scouting Trip

On Friday December 17, Sharks General manager Ryan Schnell will travel to Kelowna, British Columbia on what he is calling a scouting trip. While in Kelowna he will get to see Sharks prospects Blake Comeau, Mike Card, Troy Bodie, and possibly Shea Weber. He could also get to see other teams prospects such as Deven Dubnyk, Brent Seabrook, and Dustin Boyd depending on if they make Team Canada's World Junior Team. Schnell commented, "This is great oppertunity for me to see some of our prospects. I've heard that Blake is having a great season so far and is developing very well. I obviously hope Shea makes Team Canada, he will turn a lot of heads with the way he plays. Troy started out the year on fire, but he hit a cold streak for the last month. He did score two goals a few days ago so hopefully that gets him going. I will also get to see some other teams prospects as well as players for next years draft." In addition to scouting, Schnell will enjoy some rest from his usual hectic schedule. "I'm going to hit the slopes at Big White if they've got some snow." said Schnell "Maybe i'll even strap on the skates a few times too." Schnell is due back in his Honolulu office on January 8th.
