Where do great NHL players come from? You might have a plethora of answers, but one that people tend to overlook is the ECHL (formerly East Coast Hockey League). Most people just see it as a mid to low level league... It might surprise you to learn that the ECHL has successfully played a hand in developing 662 NHL players. An avid hockey fan himself, Germond does not write as an outsider looking in. He gets onto the ice and shows you the practical and straightforward ways that the ECHL forges some of the NHL's talents. Germond has a strong connection to minor league ice hockey and truly believes the ECHL does not get the recognition it deserves for the developmental league that it is. ECHL 2 NHL: Developing NHL Players explores the intersections of prospect development, how to better the minor league developmental model, and ECHL success stories and what can be learned from them.This book includes not only Germond's personal experiences and knowledge but also that of professional players such as: * Jacob MacDonald of the Colorado Avalanche (NHL) & Colorado Eagles (AHL) * Shane Harper of Örebro HK (SHL) * Connor LaCouvee of the Laval Rocket (AHL) & Maine Mariners (ECHL) * And more...No matter what brought you to the rink, you will undoubtedly enjoy the view into the inner workings of professional hockey. Germond takes you on a tour through the ECHL and beyond.
