There are many reasons to attend this year's NsHL entry draft: meeting all the other GMs, great Thursday's atmosphere, watching me beat Jack Danger from pillar to post in "WWE No Mercy." Those are all fantastic reasons, but none as great as what you will see in the video posted below. This is what you miss by not attending. Warning! Vulgarity alert! There are a few naughty words (example: words that rhyme with chuck and grit, and one word that sounds like pushy), so click with caution.
Note: some of this footage may seem familiar to you older GMs, but it's been repackaged for your viewing pleasure. Without further ado, Detroit GM, David Bonkosky, on his 2004 trip to Rochester as he "Had a Bad Day." www.youtube.com/watch?v=DI3ewRdR7Io |

Guys,
After seeing the video, I'm more pissed than ever that I can't attend. Boss won't give me time off since Paul's already on his family vacation. Next year, I'm booking early! d**n, Pauli! lol
Have a great one and we'll be there next year.
Dave - Atlanta GM

Nice! Hopefully this video will inspire all 30 GMs to attend next year.

I may not be the cleanest linguist in America, but you can't pass off your fowl vernacular on me. You swear just as much around Nate or Mark whether I'm there or not. They can attest to that.

Rob, you can't let anyone stand in your way this year. It will be the best turnout yet.

This is just one of the many reasons you shouldn't miss out on the NsHL Draft Weekend. Should be a great time!

The locals, of course:
Adam Taylor-Phoenix
Mike Henderson-Vancouver
Rich DeChellis-New York Rangers
Rob Lee-Colorado Avalanche
Nathan Kopsack-LA Kings (of course)
Mark Kopsack-Anaheim Mighty Ducks
Nathan Erb-Pittsburgh Penguins (If he doesn't get a job out of the area)
GMs that have confirmed travel plans:
Roger Gorbet (Buffalo) flying in from Chicago
Dave Bonkosky-Detroit
Jeff Traver-Boston (and wife)
Spencer Cawker-Washington
GMs expressing some interest but have not given a definite:
Carlos Guzman
Andrew Drummond (and wife)
Jack Dagnese
Jason Virzi
That's the count so far. If you still need to confirm with the Commissioner's Office, please do so within the next few weeks. We would like to get as many people as we can and will try to accomodate as many as we can as well.
We look forward to a big weekend this year so don't miss out.
Nathan Kopsack
NsHL Commissioner

BTW, I should get an Oscar for my cameo in this film. My 'thumbs down' including sound effect (at the end of this movie) is spirited and realistic. Not to mention that everyone viewing this movie got an indepth look at......my retina. What a bonus! I'll sign autographs at the draft.  Anytime we film a video with Mark, Dave, Jeff, and myself...it quickly acquires an "R" rating. This one was no different.  Good stuff. I laughed my a$$ off. |

Oscar worthy. You played Nate Kopsack far better than anyone could dare to attempt.

Two Thumbs up on the movie, the scene of him running away into the distance is just awesome.

It looks like a better than 50/50 chance my wife and I will be making the trip to Pittsburgh. The only thing we really have to do is get the OK from our respective supersivors for the days we booked off. We should know by July 5th.
