Colorado Springs, CO. - When the U.S. National Junior team evaluation camp began Friday in Lake Placid, N.Y., Colorado College left wing Bill Sweatt was finishing up his last day at his summer job at Quiznos.
Sweatt, who earned a bronze medal with the national junior team at this year’s International Ice Hockey Federation World Junior Championships, will miss the eight-day camp because he is rehabilitating his right wrist that he hurt in the spring. (LetsGoDU adds: He severed tendons in his right forearm last season after punching out a window in a fit of rage)
“It’s close, it’s not 100 percent yet,” said Sweatt, the Tigers’ top scoring freshman last season.
“(The U.S. coaches) just told me to work on recovering and getting back to 100 percent as soon as possible.”
Sweatt said his absence at the evaluation camp doesn’t preclude his participation in the World Juniors, which will take place from Dec. 26 to Jan. 5 in Pardubice and Liberec, Czech Republic.
“It’s just the start of evaluating for the team,” Sweatt said. “They watch you the first half of the year as well. Camp is not the be-all end-all. . . . I would love the chance to play for the team again.”
A second-round pick in June’s NHL draft, Sweatt’s wrist also kept him from attending the Chicago Blackhawks’ prospect camp July 2-6.
Postscript: Once the CC Hockey fanbase got wind of Billy serving up the subs...you just knew this would happen

Making sandwiches must be his one class in the Block Plan. If he's lucky he might stretch this over several blocks. I wonder how many other CC male fans will swoon when Billy boy asks them if they want him to heat their meat.
So do you think that when a bunch of us make the trip to CC this winter that we can call Billy after bar close to have him deliver us sandwiches to the hotel room?!?!? Maybe I better not ask or he'll punch me in a fit of rage?
Feel free to call him 24-7.
