"The first move is whether I'm flying somewhere or driving," says Mike Dawson, Kraken amateur scout who lives in Kingston, ON, about his typical week during the hockey season. "If I'm staying in the OHL [Ontario Hockey League] or the province of Quebec [to watch Quebec Major Junior Hockey League play] I'm typically driving.
"If that's the case, I usually hit the road Wednesday and get home late Sunday night. The juniors season has the odd Tuesday or Wednesday game but action pumps up Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday [when he looks to scout at least one game per day]."
