Whence Werek?

Last week we reported on 2009 verbal Ethan Werek’s injury in a Stouffville Spirit exhibition game, just days before he was to “report” to the OHL Kingston Frontenacs camp. The same injury was described in the newspaper that covers the Spirit—without any mention of Kingston. Now, thanks to Canadian Hockey News, there is an update—sans any hometown agenda. which reveals, based on an interview with Ethan, that he’d planned to visit the Fronts camp to help make an NCAA-or-OHL decision. He’ll now wait until the injury heals—in 4 to 6 weeks— before deciding.

Meanwhile, Werek’s would-be Stouffville teammate, BU 2008 recruit Corey Trivino (photo) was finding the back of the net four times in a 9-3 preseason game. Trivino, last season’s OPJHL Northern Conference rookie-of-the year with 24-34-58 in 49 games, was one of just three non-OHL players on the 2007 Ontario U17 team.
