Local kid and last I heard he is the leading scorer in the BCHL--what's missing? I talked to a source here in Denver who knows his family and said he is a super kid from a great family. Seems strange he is no longer in the mix.

A break out year after 2 so-so years in the USHL. And he is from Denver.vizoroohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16439268429771664262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17196208.post-80160500275136956982013-11-20T11:05:28.010-07:002013-11-20T11:05:28.010-07:00From what I understand, a more accurate statement ...From what I understand, a more accurate statement would be that Landon Smith and Cody Depourcq "were decommitted" from DU - i.e., after being told that their future places on the team were no-longer assured, they were encouraged by Montgomery to look for other opportunities.<br /><br />However it went down, this is not an uncommon occurrence in the several years following a coaching change...particularly when you have kids as young as 15 committing to a program. <br /><br />Definite kudos to Pham, though. Securing an appointment to a service academy is an honor reserved to a very select few. I wish him much success both in college hockey and in his future service of our country.Ring_of_Firehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08651032424125157246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17196208.post-24156528189849126782013-11-20T10:47:32.387-07:002013-11-20T10:47:32.387-07:00Congrats to Pham.
