This kid has a heck of a shot.
“I think it was just his determination. He’s one of those players that you can just see the fire in his eyes daily,” said Americans coach Stu Barnes — a guy who played 16 seasons in the NHL — of Bell’s breakout campaign. “He wants to get better and he wants to be successful. He has a great shot. He can score from distance at the Western League level, for sure, and I think that will translate well going forward.
He was tracking the draft from home in Campbell River, B.C., surrounded by loved ones and a few best buds, when the Flames gave them something to celebrate at No. 155 overall. Bell, who turns 19 in September, took a big step with the Americans in 2021-22. The talent-hounds took notice. Especially in the long-shot stages of the NHL Draft, it’s not a disappointment if you find a future depth dude.
