Cool, I'll try to keep that name in mind. He's still a few years away, but you never know where good players will come from.

There's been some stand-outs from non-traditional hockey markets recently in Thomas Vanek from Austria and Anze Kopitar from Slovenia. On a lesser level, a kid from Norway named Patrick Thoresen made the Edmonton Oilers out of camp with some impressive play. He won't be as good as the other two, but it's nice to see some quality talent coming out of these different countries. So you never know!

Oh, and Yutaka ***ufuji from Japan made his NHL debut this season as well.

Edit: lol...the filter won't let my type out Yutaka's last name.
