Omaha, Utah, Idaho and Iowa are hardly considered hockey hotbeds, but they’ve all been important stepping stones for Nashville’s #1 goalie, Dan Ellis. He discusses the long road that saw him finally become an NHL regular at the age of 27, and just how far things have come over the last few years in a blog over at the Hockey News:
When Mike Smith and I were with Dallas, the Stars talked a lot about how one of us was going to stay up and one was going to be sent down, that we were going to rotate and both get a lot of experience. Smith and I had a great competition. We were great friends – and still are; we still keep in touch – and now it’s neat for both of us to look at our new situations. Before, we were competing to be a No. 2 and a No. 3 guy; now, we’re both No. 1s with different teams in different cities.
