Few players have scored as many pre-NHL goals as Joffrey Lupul and remained this far under the radar.

In five years of playing junior hockey, he scored at least 40 goals in four of those years, including a 56-goal outburst.  He has always had a knack for scoring and will look to regain the touch after an injury-plagued 2009-10 season.  This Edmonton native has one of the strongest wills to become better and certainly has his focus in the right direction.

Ryan Stern from Back Sports Page recently got to talk hockey with Lupul.
