Following Friday’s development, Red Wings prospect Brooks Macek felt the repercussions of two long days. “I was a little sore from the first day, but I guess you’ve got to battle through that,” he said. “That’s the difference between juniors and pros, just the everyday, everyday.” He may have been sore physically, but Macek has the mental part under control, having personal experience as a hockey instructor. He knows what to expect. The Wings’ sixth-round draft pick from last month is a graduate of the Notre Dame Athol Murray College in Saskatchewan, which is widely renowned for their male and female hockey programs. Alumni include current and former NHL stars such as Brad Richards, Vincent Lecavalier, and Rod Brind'Amour. Macek, a Winnipeg native, participated in camps at the school as a youngster before heading there for high school. For his first job, they hired him as an instructor, and he’ll return there later this summer. http://redwings.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=534203&navid=DL|DET|home
