Sanborn native Tom McCollum was the second goalie taken in the June NHL draft, going 30th to the Red Wings (with Jhonas Enroth in the fold, the Sabres passed on McCollum).
McCollum is spending this week in Traverse City, Mich., at the league's prospect camp, a multi-team affair with game play run sort of like the NBA's summer camp in Las Vegas.
You can hear from him directly as he's blogging about his experiences for NHL.com.

He is a member of the Professional Hockey Writers Association and can vouch that exposed flesh freezes instantly when walking in downtown Winnipeg in January.
