Joe... thats the critical point, many people have said and its in my opinion very true our national scouting for players has been broken for years, as has been our seletion process for provincial team players.

If you just look at those already identified, you only get to choose a subset of what was picked at u13 by the regional and provincials who were looking for biggest and strongest because their jobs depended and still depend on winning the National all star games held each year.

So for Herdman as a new coach in Canada now with time to get out and really look at players, again no stone should be left unturned.

He has yet to say ... this is the type of player I forsee developing and having on the squad for 2015, he needs to do that and then he needs to go looking for the players he needs and can develop by 2015 and then beyond.
