Hockey Scout Craig Cunningham
from Matt Porter of the Boston Globe,
In his third year on the job, the routine has become pleasantly familiar.
He flies into a city in western North America, such as Denver to see pros, or Kelowna to scout juniors. He gets in a workout at the hotel. He arrives at the arena, finds his assigned seat, and pulls out his notebook, critiquing the players on the ice for the benefit of his team.
Craig Cunningham is back in the NHL, and he is grateful.
