Tonight is the opening night of the USHL's regular season, as the Green Bay Gamblers head to Chicago to take on the Steel.
Tonight will also mark the debut of Eric Gryba for the Green Bay Gamblers. Gryba played defenseman last year in midgets for the Saskatoon Contacts, but as is listed as a forward by the Gamblers. Either way, he's huge at 6'4" and 205 lbs.
Chris Heisenberg's blog had a good summation of Gryba's situation. Basically, Gryba tried to find a loophole in Hockey Canada's rule saying that midget age players can't play outside of their own province. Gryba appealed the situation, saying that he would be living with family members, but the appeal was denied, meaning Green Bay got to cash in on on their Futures draft pick.
Gryba is a top prospect that will draw a lot of attention from most of the big name schools, but is also a very good student, and could possibly end up attending an Ivy League school.
