The FlintFirebirds have had some tough times of late, but they're hoping this season will be different. (bradcoccimiglio)

Over the summer, the team added overage goaltender Anthony Popovich, who won an OHL title with the Guelph Storm last season and will get a boost if the NHL’s Dallas Stars return Ty Dellandrea to the OHL.

Dellandrea isn’t the only high-end NHL prospect on the Flint roster as the team also features Florida Panthers prospect Vladislav Kolyachonok, who has earned the praise of his coach. “He’s always in a good mood. He’s a kid that’s really bubbly and outgoing. He really fits into the group. Typically, you don’t find that when a European comes over. There always seems to be a tough adjustment but for him, he fit right in.”One of the more interesting rule changes comes from the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League and it involves changes after icing the puck.
