Stefan Legein UPDATE
By Bethany | August 20, 2008
**First of all, I want to make it very clear that I will not under any circumstances e-mail you the message that I received. Don’t ask. Also, just to be clear, the e-mail was never forwarded to Portzline, there was a segment copied and pasted to him.**
Second of all, Legein’s father said that:
“Until Sept. 20 (when training camp starts), he hasn’t quit anything.” He did confirm, however, that Doug Woods still represents his son as an agent.
This story is just beginning. Stefan is only 19 years old.
Why is this story such a big deal? Legein was one of our top prospects. Legein has NEVER played an NHL game. People are saying that he lost his passion to play, lost his desire. I don’t know if that is true. Whatever the reason, it will come out, and it will come out soon.

1) At first we and others we had taked with thought who in their right mind works their entire lives to get to this point where you can actually CASH IN LARGE, just to walk away leaving the money on the table?
2) Then we realized that there could be some emotional problems, or worse yet substance abuse issues going on here. Either way its improper to speculate until we know all the facts. Here’s hoping we DO see the kid in camp or at some point back in hockey

From the Puck Daddy blog on Yahoo
“Follow the bouncing puck: Bethany Porter of Bethany’s Hockey Rants, a Blue Jackets blog, gets an anonymous e-mail telling her that Legein — a 2007 second-round pick and a rising pest in the BJ’s system — had decided to quit hockey.
Bethany passes this along to Aaron Portzline of the Dispatch, who called around until Jackets GM Scott Howson confirmed the news. Later in the day, Legein’s father tells Portzline that “until Sept. 20 (when training camp starts), he hasn’t quit anything.” (The Canadian Press and TSN picked up this story without mentioning it was broken by a hockey blogger. Shocking, isn’t it?)”
Keep up the good work!
