“You’ve got to have the utmost respect for each other’s game, and we do.
“[Cox] to me is a Bob Gainey type player. Even more so because he was picking up points. IT WAS CREATED TO DETAIL HIS BATTLE TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE TYRANNICAL PRACTICES OF THE PRESENT LEADERSHIP OF THE UNITED BROTHERHOOD OF CARPENTERS. “Joël has been giving me more ice time than I’m used to at this level.”He responds to those assignments the same way — with tireless effort and fearlessness. Fortunately, they’ve got a lot in common to keep the conversations flowing when they do sit down to chat. You want to play with a guy like that.”“I was in the Montreal system and Bob Gainey was the captain of the Canadiens at the time,” Anastos said. Mike was always a little more on the fast-track. "I wanted to pick his brain a little more because I've always wondered how NHL guys prepare and what they do on off-days. So when he joined the team, he asked his brother for a scouting report. From a coach’s perspective, every coach is looking to have a player like him on their team.”“It’s a good feeling for sure,” Cox said about the vote of confidence and increased playing time. No one is going to do them any favours.”When Veilleux, who has four goals in six games with the Rocket, was deciding whether to come to Laval, he had a conversation with Bouchard.The Rocket forward has earned praise in his first full AHL season.McCarron knew Cox’s name when he joined the Rocket because he pays close attention to his brother’s career.

The second-eldest of the McCarron clan continues to ply his trade professionally following a standout four-year collegiate career at Cornell University that wrapped up in 2014-15. He’s one of those guys who put their nose to the grindstone. “He works hard. We’ll see what happens down the road.”“My mom’s best friend as a kid had a big backyard and three boys of her own. In his first full season with Florida he finished fifth in team scoring. I think that really trickled down on him and helped him develop at a younger age,” said McCarron, a two-time Big Red captain in his time with Cornell before making the jump to the pro game.“I was getting my feet wet in the AHL at the same time Mike was going up to the NHL, so we were kind of in the same boat at the time. From long bus rides to three games in three nights, it is a grind and sometimes you aren’t at the ideal level to perform. We’d play until something like 10 o’clock,” recalled McCarron, who went on to play for the OHL’s London Knights and Oshawa Generals after a two-year run with the USNTDP. John offered a positive assessment.While three goals and six assists in 35 games don’t necessarily point to someone who belongs in a top six, Cox is one of Bouchard’s most trusted forwards. He's been sharing that with me. In October 2012, John and the Big Red played host to Michael and the United States National Development Under-18 Team (USNTDP) in an exhibition game at Lynah Rink in Ithaca, NY that Cornell went on to win by a score of 6-2.Knowing full-well that Michael was keeping a close eye on him both on and off the ice, John did his best to set a good example for a young man blessed with all of the physical attributes necessary to be an impact player wherever he went.Like the Canadiens’ young gun, John played hockey as a youngster in Michigan and inspired Michael to do the same.
He was second in the league in scoring. Originally we had thought tht the S. stood for Seamus ie James but were mistaken ,as James was an older member of the family possibly a brother.
