In one of his wittier sayings of the season, Calgary Flames general manager Brad Treliving noted - when training camp ended - that most people following the team probably wouldn't have been able to identify Josh Jooris before camp "if we had given them the J, both Os and an R."
Jooris had perhaps the best training camp of anybody in the organization. His fitness level was said to have been excellent. His game preparation was praised. He worked hard in practice. And when he was given a shot to play a preseason game, he performed well enough to eventually string together several exhibition appearances.
