"Boushy scored a pile of goals at the co m bine and h e' s q uick." If he does, Boushy will have to balance school and a pro career, but he saw form er Queen' s team m ate Ryan W agner finish off his engineer ing degree while playing his rookie season w ith the Vancouver Stealth. O akville' s Braden W allace also m issed the draft being held in his h om eto w n . F o r W allace, it w as by design. W h en he tried to register for the league' s combine, it was already full. Already believing he was on the draft bubble, Wallace thought he'd missed his last chance to make an impression. So M onday night, he took his dog for a w alk while the draft was on. "I didn't w ant to sit and w atch and be disappointed," he said. W h en he got hom e, his dad called to tell him the Buffalo Bandits had chosen him in the fifth round. "It was a big relief," he said. "I'm ju st excited to have a shot. I didn't care w hen or where, I ju st w anted a shot to play at that level with the best players." W allace spoke briefly with Ban dits general m anager Steve Dietrich, w ho told him the Bandits tried to hide their interest in him so they didn't tip off other teams. The 23-year-old averaged just over a point a gam e in four seasons with the Burlington Chiefs before joining the Sr. B Oakville Titans. A t the Rochester Institute of Tech nology, he helped the Tigers reach the Division III national semifinals in four of his five years. RIT made it to the cham pionship gam e for the second time this year where, despite his four goals, the Tigers lost 1 5 -7 to Salisbury. W allace said he' s encouraged by the num ber of current N LL players w ho have com e out of RIT. He will head to training cam p hoping to im press the Buffalo coaching staff, led by Oakville' s Troy Cordingley. "He runs a pretty tough cam p so I w ant to be in the best shape I can be in ," he said. "Through minor, his team s som etim es practised after us and everyone said he ran a pro-level practice even at the m inor level. I like that. I w ant to be productive; I w ant to im prove." Family.
