Other notable Whawks include Brandon Dubinsky and Ryan Johansen! Dubi was a trade but based on the rest I continually wonder if CBJ's WHL scout is just a big Whawks fan because we are starting to have a disproportionate amount of players from there.

And Derrick Pouliot in Pittsburgh! At least, I hope he has a great season so he can be considered notable.

And Pens coach Mike Johnston was head coach/GM for 2008-14 (...apart from that season where he was suspended by CHL for recruitment and player benefits violations la la la lets not dwell on that).

Pouliot's Instagram was such a good follow when he was in Portland, it made me very fond of all his Winterhawks bros. I know he's all grown up now but I still miss it.

Who was he closest to on the team?

He was close with Winnipeg Jets prospect Chase De Leo. He once instagrammed a picture of a bed and when Chase made a comment about sharing it, told him to 'get nakey'.

I just googled Chase De Leo. Derrick has decent taste.

Tell me about his instagram! I'd like to write Pouliot/Maatta, it could be interesting, but I don't know enough about Pouliot.

With pleasure! Pouliot's Instagram was very typical soft bro of his era, lots of emoji and dumb hashtags and things like that. He was very into taking selfies for no reason and he's obsessed with his hair. He likes Pretty Little Liars lol, he posted about that a few times.

My favorite posts of his were when he had his shoulder surgery and was just very bored. He posted random bored selfies, pics of his healthy food (and complaining about it in the captions). Oh and an inside joke among the Winterhawks was "romantic D" and I have no idea what it's about but they commented on all of his pictures calling him romantic. Here's a compilation: http://beezy-k.tumblr.com/post/65442036789/things-i-love-about-the-winterhawks-in-no For the other nonny who asked who he's close to, that post gives a good idea of it! IIRC he had some shirtless in bed pics with Leipsic.

It's worth it to know that Pouliot was teammates with Joe Morrow, former Pens prospect, and he said that when he got to his first ever Pens camp Morrow was his only friend and showed him around and really took care of him. I couldn't tell you who he's close to now in WBS/Pittsburgh because of his decreased social media presence, though.

Thanks!

Pouliot being obsessed with his hair pleases me. He can have secret hair competitions with Tanger.

Thank you! And this is especially cracking me up, because his hair is so bad at times.

I don't mind talking about it, because I think it's a travesty those things are against CHL rules. *Every* team should be allowed to buy cell phones for their kids so they can talk to their families and fly their families to town to visit them.

I remember thinking "that's all?" when reading why Johnston had been suspended (when reading about him when he was named Pens coach). Are other teams not doing some of these things? Are they just better at hiding them?

Exactly, it's one of the first things that endeared me to HCMJ.
