Former Calgary Flames back-up goalie and friend of Miikka Kiprusoff, Jamie Mclennan has found himself in Japan continuing on in his career. That is quite the change of pace from Calgary and Florida, his two most recent NHL teams. He now plays for the Nippon Paper Cranes of the ALIH (Asia League Ice Hockey) and talks about how different it is playing over there compared to his days in the NHL. They’re home teams draw 3,000 loud fans and even cheer and encourage you if you let in a bad goal, a far cry from what happens in the NHL. For more information check out his blog here.
