Well I need you guys to at least indulge a proud dad and let me post my son's stats this year to date. My son is 16 and in his second year of Midget AAA this year. He is not a Paul Coffey type defenceman and is not going to dazzle you with his skating and playmaking but as a 6'2 225 pound defenceman with a nasty side he gets the job done. More importantly than that he is a good kid and does well in school. _________________________________________________________________________ Number Name Position Height/Weight GP Goals Assists Pts PM's +/- 77 Taylor Osmun D 6'2 225 31 6 14 20 70 +3 _________________________________________________________________________

You should well be proud, barry. He sounds like a grade A kid. Now just make sure he marries well and stays off the booze............

Nil for that he will have to look elsewhere for guidance :)

Can we trade him for Streit?

I hear he makes an excellent house guest, and that adorable Swiss accent saying "Papa!" everytime you come home will warm your chilly heart!

Or maybe he can just come and slap some sense into Ribs

Brooklyn- he had to sit out todays game because he received his 3rd fighting major. I swear he gets that mean streak from his mother.

Nice, best of luck to him. I love Midget AAA games. Especially when I referee the team Latendresse played for, its literally down my street, and takes 2 minutes to get there, its always packed (I love refereeing infront of a packed arena) and when you hit AAA, its a taste of what players in the AHL, NHL, QJHL, WHL, and OHL go through.

Thanks to all your well wishes. It is tough being a divorced Dad and having your "little boy" move away to play hockey, but I see him play as much as possible and he is staying with me for Xmas. I don't care if he makes the big leagues. But I stress getting an education first and foremost. Boy would it be great to see him in a Habs uni one day lol. I would say "take me God I have lived my life now". (By the way CJ has seen him play a few times and thinks he has potential)
