UW's McBain discussed on NHL.com

Wisconsin sophomore defenseman Jamie McBain was discussed in an NHL.com article about the Carolina Hurricanes' top prospects. The article talks about his freshman season as a Badger, where he posted three goals and 15 helpers to lead all UW defensemen in scoring. McBain was a second round pick by the 'Canes in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft.

McBain will join several other WCHA players in participating in USA Hockey's 2007 USA Junior Evaluation Camp, which takes place Aug. 5-14 in Lake Placid, N.Y. McBain was on last year's bronze medal-winning 2007 U.S. National Junior Team , and is a virtual lock to make the 2008 team.
