Jake Walman
3rd round (82nd overall), 2014
2010-11: Jake Walman skated for the Toronto Red Wings bantam team coached by former NHL forward Claude Lemieux. Lemieux, whose son Brendan also skated for the Red Wings, shifted Walman from defense to forward at times due to his lack of size.
2011-12:Walman played forward for the North York Rangers midget minor team in the Greater Toronto league. He scored 10 goals with 12 assists and 18 penalty minutes in 33 games. In four games for the Rangers at the OHL Cup he had 1 assist.
2012-13: Walman shifted back to defense playing for the Toronto Junior Canadiens midget AAA team in the Greater Toronto Hockey League. In 23 games he scored 2 goals with 9 assists and 11 penalty minutes.
2013-14:Walman played for the for the junior A Toronto Junior Canadiens and was named the Ontario Junior Hockey League's Rookie of the Year and Top Prospect. He scored 7 goals with 26 assists and 87 penalty minutes in 43 games. Walman missed the playoffs due to injury. In January he committed to playing college hockey at Providence in 2014-15. He was selected by Peterborough in the sixth round (112th overall) of the 2014 OHL Priority Draft in April in his third year of draft eligibility. Walman was ranked 47th amongst North American skaters in the Central Scouting final rankings and was selected by St. Louis in the third round (82nd overall) in the 2014 NHL Draft.
2014-15: Walman was one of five players to skate in all 41 games for national champion Providence College in his freshman season. Paired with redshirt senior Mark Adams (BUF) much of the year, he scored 1 goal with 15 assists and was +4 with 44 penalty minutes. Providence finished second to Boston University in Hockey East, receiving an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament after falling to New Hampshire in the Hockey East quarterfinals (all three games were, 2-1, with both Friars' losses coming in overtime). Providence defeated Miami (7-5) and Denver (4-1) to capture the NCAA East regional. After a 4-1 win over Nebraska-Omaha in the Frozen Four semifinal the Friars out-lasted Hockey East rival Boston University, 4-3, in the championship game.
2015-16: Walman was named to the East All-American first team, scoring at a point-per-game pace for Providence College in his sophomore season before suffering a season-ending injury in February. In 27 games he scored 13 goals with 15 assists and was +4 with 44 penalty minutes. The Friars were second to Boston College in Hockey East, receiving an at-large bid to the 2016 NCAA Hockey Tournament following a 2-1 triple overtime loss to Massachusetts-Lowell in the Hockey East semifinals. The defending national champions dropped a 2-1, double-overtime loss to the University of Minnesota-Duluth in the opening game of the Northeast Regional.
Walman is a raw and undersized but talented prospect. Having played both forward and defense in the past, he is a smooth skating defenseman with some offensive elements to his game. In his first year of college hockey he has made an immediate impression in the lineup for Providence College and should use all or most of his college eligibility to gain experience as an all-around player and improve his muscle mass.
Walman was one of the top offensive defensemen in college hockey with Providence College in 2015-16 before suffering an injury in December that eventually required surgery. He is expected to return to the Friars for his junior year before possibly signing an entry-level deal with St. Louis following the 2016-17 season. In an organization with several, big skilled defensemen Walman projects as a mobile, playmaker with the ability to compliment those players.

Going into the year, it was unclear who would step up this season but several St. Louis Blues prospects have made a huge splash in 2015-16. The most notable names are Robby Fabbri, Colton Parayko and Joel Edmundson. While Fabbri and Parayko were highly-touted as the season progressed, Edmundson took advantage of his opportunity and has been a mainstay on the Blues' blueline. With all three players graduating this season, the 2016 Prospect Awards opens the door to new up-and-coming names in the Blues' prospect pool heading into the NHL Entry Draft.

In the calm before the NCAA championship game storm that will take place on Saturday night in Tampa, U.S. college hockey handed out their top awards for the 2015-16 season. Those awards included the Tim Taylor Award, the Mike Richter Award, and the award designating the top player in all of NCAA hockey, the Hobey Baker Award. Read more»
Several St. Louis Blues prospects have found success in Europe and NCAA hockey

The St. Louis Blues have several European defensemen in the pipeline and a few are making a name for themselves in Europe. Finnish goaltender Ville Husso is certainly the biggest name in terms of talent in Europe but the Blues have never shied away from drafting international players. The team has had great success scouting various European leagues over its history, including 1978's selection of Risto Siltanen, and 1995's picks of Michal Handzus and Jochen Hecht. Not all their European picks have ended up playing for the Blues, but those that have recently (Jori Lehtera, Patrik Berglund, Dmitrij Jaskin, and Vladimir Tarasenko to name a few) are impact players in the NHL.

Plenty of players making a jump in St. Louis Blues Top 20 rankings

The St. Louis Blues prospect pool has seen some ups and downs over the past season but the positives have certainly made a difference for the NHL club. Robby Fabbri and Colton Parayko have been welcomed additions to the franchise and do not seem to be moving anytime soon. With their NHL careers taking off in style, both players have hit graduation, which has opened the door for other Blues prospects to move up the list. Read more»

Down 3-2 with less than 10 minutes to go in last year's Frozen Four championship game, Providence College scored two third period goals to stun favored Boston University as the Friars went on to a 4-3 victory to take the National Championship. Almost a year later, the Friars embark on their quest to repeat as NCAA champions as they are one of four schools to compete in the Northeast Regional of the 2016 NCAA Hockey Tournament. Read more»

What's a good media player for my HDTV?
Anyone know of a good media player for use with LG Smart TV? The Nero Media Essentials sent with TV is PC only. UGH!
Is the person who asked the original question trying to connect a computer to a TV? or just use the TV?
Windows Media Center has the interface already setup for TV's. Simple, yet expandable. Music player, photo slide shows, watch video's stored on the pc, can monitor folders from other computers too. put in a tv tuner card and start viewing live tv and some tv tuners can record tv too.
You can refer to Gnome media player or VLC media player,these players have capabilities to play any audio/video files..!!
Twonky will do anything you want it to do probably even more. This is what I use. Even to the tablets.
http://www.plexapp.com - the sweetest mac media center software around, originally mac only but now windows version too. Handles meta-data really well , so just give it a video file and it figures out exactly what is is.
The Nero software will not work on a MAC that is my problem.
Hello, so that is the problem then...you didn't mention anything about it in previous post. How about VLC?
Hello, there should be a media player already included by default with your TV. When you check in your dashboard, is there a media player icon? If there is not, have you check in the apps section? You could also use the search function to search if there is a media player included. If you get new apps, they will show in your dashboard if you set them to be there. Also keep in mind that if your TV is connected to your network, you could use Smart Share to stream pictures and videos from your computer and other devices that are in your network.
To access smart share, open your dashboard and then on the right of your apps section you will see an arrow pointing right. Click on it, and another menu should open giving you access to several ports like USB, DLNA, etc. If you select DLNA, and point it to a computer, it will stream whatever is playing in your computer to the TV. That is why you have the Nero software. Install the nero software in your computer so that the TV can use that software to stream and view it on TV.
