Maybe this should be added to the prospects board too? I know the fair amount of dutch posters here would be interested...

I really hope he'll succeed. The hockey world needs more good countries and even if one player doesn't make a team he could be very useful for the Dutch.

one would think the Dutch would have a better hockey program, seeing as they have such reknown for loving ice skating... and since their speed skaters are always contenders at the Olympics. could you imagine those guys with hockey sticks. :eek:

Skating culture has made it easy for Latvia so I can see how it can help Holland. Latvian defenseman Sandis Ozolins btw was a dance skater (konståkare, vad heter det på engelska??) and it really shows... One of the most entertaining skaters in the NHL, knows how to avoid hits and stops...

Yeah but the speed skaters can only go straight ahead or to the left. :p
