Tips ink youngsters


Posted at 6:12 pm by Nick Patterson

The Tips secured part of their future by signing prospects Kent Simpson, Markus McCrea and Tyler Parker to WHL education contracts. What that means is that the players are now contractually committed to playing in the WHL rather than the NCAA.

The news about Simpson is no surprise. The goaltender is a Canadian kid, a first-round bantam draft pick, and he said he was committed to Everett the day he was drafted.

It's a bigger deal, however, for McCrea and Parker. Both forwards are from California, and thus more likely to be conflicted about choosing between the major junior and college routes. Talking to McCrea during rookie camp he said he was fully committed to playing for Everett should he be offered a spot as a 16- or 17-year-old. As for Parker, the contract indicates the undrafted player has done enough during his time at camp to warrant a place in Everett's future.
