The reason Callahan who does not come

Submitted by jaywillen on Tue, 02/23/2016 - 16:04

One name that might not be on your prospect Damaris Johnson Womens Jersey radar for the Detroit Red Wings is Mitchell Callahan. The Whittier California native was drafted by the Wings in the 6th round (180th overall) of the 2009 NHL entry draft. The 5'11" and 175 lbs forward will step into the pro ranks this season with Grand Rapids.

The reason Callahan who does not come from a hockey hotbed, and is undersized by most NHL standards is so intriguing is the fact that the Wings haven't had a player of his mold for quite some time. He's not an offensive juggernaut, though he's very capable of potting a goal when needed. He does however have a knack for getting under the opponents skin.

He is an agitator, and a very http://www.texansfootballproshop.com/WOMENS_YOUTH_JJ_WATT_JERSEY.html effective one at that.

SCOUT COMMENTS

"He's a high-energy, high-impact player. He finishes all of his checks, he's fearless and he'll take on anybody. You hope he's going to be one of those guys who gets in on the forecheck and who causes havoc on defensemen." - Red Wings Antonio Brown Womens Jersey assistant general manager Jim Nill (June 2009)

"Daniel Carcillo in Philly is the kind of guy this guy is. He's after you all the time, under everybody's skin, he's yappin' at you and he's doing all the things that bother everybody. He's an agitator." - Kelowna Rockets general manager Bruce Hamilton (June 2009)

"He's something we don't have. We're not a tough, robust team, and he brings in that agitator. He's in your face, he's going to fight anybody, one of those fan favorite type of players." - Nill (July 2010, DetroitRedWings.com).
