Prospects update: Memorial Cup watch

Thursday, May 15, 2008

Two Dallas Stars prospects are playing in the Canadian Hockey League's Memorial Cup, which gets underway Friday in Kitchener, Ontario.

Forward Ondrej Roman, a fifth round pick (136th overall) by the Stars in 2007, has been a key player for the Spokane Chiefs, who are representing the WHL.

Roman's 20 points (nine goals, 11 assists) were tied for the team lead. He was tied for fourth in the league in playoff points, tied for fifth in goals, tied for sixth in assists and his plus-13 rating ranked 3rd.

Spokane opens the tournament Saturday against fellow Stars prospect Michael Neal and the Belleville Bulls of the OHL. Neal, the younger brother of Stars prospect James Neal was another another fifth round pick (149th overall) in 2007. He  missed the entire regular season with a knee injury, but returned late in the playoffs. He has no points in seven games for the Bulls.

The other two teams in the tournament are Kitchener (OHL) and Gatineau (QMJHL). The tournament begins Friday and concludes with the Championship game on Sunday May 25.

The NHL Network will be carrying the games.

Games will also be carried on the web on a pay-per-view basis. The details are here.
