I was watching some hockey the other night, when a name stuck out to me. All I saw was the back of the Florida Panthers' sweater, which had a number 28 and the name Jessiman on the back.
Couldn't be. Hugh Jessiman? The former Brunswick Bruin whose games I broadcast? The 2003 first-round pick of the New York Rangers? Nah.
Yeah. Hat-tip to Harold for passing this link along from Hockey Fights. Unfortunately Hugh was sent back to Rochester in the AHL, but hopefully he makes a return trip. I didn't know him well, but I talked to him a few times, and he seemed like a nice kid. Best of luck to him.
It's sad when a player is labeled a "bust" because these are still people that we're talking about, but that's the nature of the beast.
