UNDRAFTED, BUT STILL IN THE GAME?

Martin St. Louis - Undrafted
 

More information at Fitness Institute!

Not drafted or a late pick on draft day? Disappointed or even devastated?  You're not alone as many draft eligible players, in fact many more than were drafted, were left undrafted this past weekend.  Is it over or just the beginning?

The answer lies in how you deal with it.

My suggestion is, let it fuel your fire because not everybody is on a fast track to the Show (in fact most are not) and when you accept the fact that it's a marathon rather than a sprint and that scouting is far from the perfect science you'll be in the right frame of mind to prove people wrong and begin the process of getting something special out of hockey. Remember Martin St-Louis, Adam Oates, Steve Thomas, Rich Peverley, Brian Rafalski, Grant Ledyard, Chad Larose, Chris Kunitz, Curtis Joseph, Mike Green, Dino Ciccarelli, Ed Belfour, Rene Bourque, to name a few are or were undrafted players that are having or had very good NHL careers!

Make the most of this summer...with proper training and nutrition!
