How much Forsberg is too much Forsberg?

The Prince George Cougars are about to find out...

Edmonton, AB -- With the first overall selection in the '10 WHL Bantam Draft the Prince George Cougars selected Alex Forsberg of Waldheim, Saskatchewan.

Forsberg, a 5’9”, 170 pound centre played the 2009-10 season with the Beardy’s Blackhawks of the Saskatchewan Midget AAA Hockey League, finishing tied for third in league scoring with 26 goals and 46 assists for 72 points in 44 games, tops among all rookies in the SMAAAHL. In the 2010 SMAAAHL playoffs, Alex recorded seven goals and nine points in six games, earning a goal in Beardy’s final five games and recorded a point in all six games.

“We are proud to select a quality young man with exceptional hockey ability first overall in the draft,” said Cougars General Manager Dallas Thompson. “Alex possesses the skills necessary to become a top quality hockey player for the Prince George Cougars.”

“What he did this year in a Midget AAA setting is incredible,” said Wade Klippenstein, Cougars Assistant General Manager and Director of Player Personnel. “It’s almost unprecedented for a second year bantam player to not only play Midget AAA, but to dominate. His maturity as a player, his intelligence and his ability to score really give him all the important characteristics of becoming a great hockey player.”

“It’s really exciting to be picked first by the Cougars,” said Forsberg. “It’s great to be joining my brother in Prince George. Being the first pick happens to only one player every year and to be one of those players is really special.”

Alex is the younger brother of Cougars defenceman Jesse Forsberg. Alex and Jesse become the first brothers to both be selected by the same team in the first round of the WHL Bantam Draft. The Cougars selected Jesse 11th overall in 2008.

LOL...then you got Bergfors on the Thrashers too..

did anyone watch the CBC show called "The Rookies"?
they followed 6 or 8 rookies going into the PG Cougars camp last season.
J. Forsberg was one of them.

/the more you know.

Yeah! That was impressive, wasn't it? I still can't figure out how that happened. My guess is that you edited your post while I posted.

Unless they're wearing Nashville mustard jerseys. That's too much Forsberg.

There's just to many of those, period.

This is too much Forsberg.

How the hell did Hckygoalie quote a reply that supposedly wasn't posted for another 6 hours?

Lol. Shouldn't he have an avalanche falling down behind him? I think the Hockey News got their natural disaster background wrong considering he never played for the Flames. Also, it would be less scary than this one.

OT, this is my favorite sports magazine cover ever (if you exclude anything with the words "Swimsuit Edition" on it)...

Hopefully the Flyers can draft him then trade his rights for some jello headed brat who's a team crippling daddy's boy.

Elo...who's Robert Headsten? lol

That would be a real fuckin drag! Unless the AV's were the recipient's again and I got to see a couple of SCF games. Then that would help to ease the pain a little!
