The Staal Brothers....
This version of "four brothers" features the son of a Thunder Bay Ontario Sod Farmer who in the winter would create a rink on the fields and the four brothers wuld take to the ice for a game of shinny.
The oldest brother, 21 year old Eric was a second round pick of the Carolina Hurricanes and is making waves this year in the new NHL. His 18 year old brother Marc is a defenseman for the Sudbury Wolves and was a 12th overall pick by the New York Rangers in last years NHL draft. The third brother, 17 year old, Jordan plays for the Peterborough Petes of the OHL and is currently in his draft year. He is ranked 5th on the Central Scouting Bureau's list, but is favoured to go in the top three. He has been selected to play on the under 17 team for Canada and is said to be the favourite to captain the team. The youngest brother and said to be the best of all four of them is 15 year old Jared. Jared is playing AAA in Thunder Bay this year and is currently in his OHL draft year. He has been rumoured ot be as good a skater as his older brothers already at this stage of his development. He is sposed to be bigger stornger and faster than Eric. Jared's draft year is 2008.
All four brothers are said to ahve amazing hockey sense and are all very strong skaters, it seems that they are all very talented players and it will only benefit the NHL to have these four all playing together one day in the future
Although it is a little too early to say that they are the 21st century version of the sutters, it is not an overestimation to say that they all have an opportunity to be superstars one day in the NHL.
