... with the NCAA, uh, situation, where they're taking players from the OHL.

And now players that maybe would never think about the OHL, they are, because they can come to the OHL and then go to school after and play NCAA Division I. Um, Spencer Hyman, as well as anyone, he and Bill Bowler from Windsor have really, for lack of a better phrase, taken advantage of the new landscape by going out and signing premium free agent players, American-born players.

Yeah.

You know, a- and, and I think you hit it right, right in, in, you know, the, this whole, you know, NCAA outlook is, has really changed kinda, you know, the way GMs can operate.

Okay, he didn't pan out, whatever, right? But they've missed on a lot of good players in their own backyard.

And I'm not saying to make a 15th round pick a local kid, a token pick.

Okay, you have to, when you're drafting, Bill Bowler from Windsor always tells me, "When you're drafting a player," he goes, "I don't care what round, you have to think to yourself, 'Can this kid play in the OHL?'"

Mm-hmm.

You're going to hear from Mark Hunter.

You'll hear from the general manager and vice president of hockey operations, With the Windsor Spitfires, Bill Bowler.

You'll also meet some of the newest Knights, too, in fact.

Jonathan Capagiridis, who was acquired from the North Bay Battalion this week, a defenseman, 19 years of age.

So they have all kinds of opportunities, and they can take advantage of those opportunities.

At an early age, they can wait a little while.

In our discussion with Bill Bowler, we will bring up the names Jack Nesbitt and Ethan Belchitz.

Both left.
