Leneveu Signs with Phoenix
GDI goaltender David Leneveu signs with the Phoenix Coyotes.

 
On behalf of everybody at GDI we are proud to offer our congratulations to David Leneveu following his signing with the Phoenix Coyotes. Leneveu, a Fernie BC native, played for the Cornell Big Red the last two seasons assembling the best numbers in the NCAA.

Leneveu has been a participant of GDI's summer programs, a participant of GDI's consulting program and has been an instructor at our summer camps.


GDI wishes David continued success in his hockey career

The release is dated July 1.. Seems odd no one else has picked up on it or confirmed it...Has anybody else seen this from another source?

Nothing on the Coyotes web site.  They do have a press release dated today, July 2, that they signed Captain Teppo Numminen to a one year deal which would suggest that the site is being updated quickly.  Since LeNeveu is included in a poll on the site about the Coyotes top prospects, one would think that if he were signed, it would merit a press release.

edit:
Press release is up on the Coyote's web site.  Rats.

I think for the most part, the name is self-explanatory.

After wandering into Lynah on Saturday morning and seeing about 12 goalies working on drills and "GDI" signs hanging on the glass, I looked into it a little bit.  It seems to be an organization which provides development camps and other instruction for goaltenders (who are willing to pay the hefty price tags).

"At GDI, we strive to provide the finest, most progressive goaltending instruction available today. While we recognize the importance of technical development, it is a broader development of goaltending athletes that separates GDI from the pack. The enhancement of each goaltender's skill level, character and athletic attributes will take place in an atmosphere of enthusiasm, teamwork and a dedication to excellence on and off the ice. In short, we are committed to offering athletes the most productive and rewarding development experience of their life. "

I think I speak for all Cornell fans when I say, "damn!"  I also wish Dave the best as he moves to the professional ranks.

Give My Regards

Larry, my language was somewhat stronger than yours, but essentially the same sentiment.  Best of luck, Dave, and thanks again for two incredible seasons.

I thought Coach Schafer's response was very classy -- it's a big loss for the team, but they're excited that Dave has a chance to live out the dream they all have.

If you lead a good life, go to Sunday school and church, and say your prayers every night, when you die, you'll go to LYNAH!

:`(  But life must go on.   Let's go Marr and Chabot, show us what you've got.

It's obviously a disappointing day, purely from a Cornell fan's standpoint (and also because it seemed like he was coming back for his junior year), but at the same time it's also hard not to feel happy for him. I mean, you never know what could have happened this season, as far as injuries or less impressive stats, so I can't really blame the guy. So good luck to Dave, and hopefully he can succeed at the highest level possible.

Now who's the "number one" goaltender for this season? Marr or Chabot? I would guess Marr (for now, and of course without knowing anything about their respective progress this summer)....any thoughts?
