Progress Report from Billy Byrne in Calgary

Tim,
I can honestly say out of the 18 forwards we had here at camp Dylan Bailey was the worst. He played a lot on a line with Jerry Dupont’s nephew. Let me tell you that kid is gonna take someone’s head off if he doesn’t cool his jets. Dylan on the other hand has the exact opposite issue, I think he might be too nice for such high level hockey. He gets called for a lot of tripping, hooking, and holding penalties; but never a slash or rough.
His skating is above the rest of the kids here, and I think some of them even resent him for it. It’s easy to tell he used to be a figure skater, but looking at how he’s growing I think this is going to be the better career path for him, once he learns what to do with the stick. I don’t think he’s going to be a very good Bantam player, or even Midget; but the team that takes a shot on him in the draft is gonna have a pretty good hockey player in three or four years. I’m excited to see how far he will go.
