It was a big moment for two members of the Sherwood Park Crusaders and perhaps an even bigger one for the team they play for.
Crusaders forward Peter Quenneville and goalie Matt Tomkins both had reasons to feel pretty good about themselves late last week when they saw their names included in the NHL Central Scouting Mid-Term Rankings.
Only three Alberta Junior Hockey League players were singled out as strong bets for being selected in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft at this point, and two of those came from the Sherwood squad.
Cru head coach and G.M. Tim Fragle said that is the first time that has happened in, well, ever.
