I’m not sure how this snuck through my legs (Cechmanek joke!), but James van Riemsdyk was included in The 2009 Upper Deck NHL Rookie Photo Shoot at the end of August. Rabbit was among 14 high profile draft picks from the past couple years such as John Tavares, Victor Hedman, Colin Wilson, Eric Tangradi, and Matt Duchene. It’s nice to know that Upper Deck has already slotted Rabbit into one of the Flyers starting spots this season. It’s also nice to know that they told him to “pretend he was looking at the sexiest, slutiest sandwich he had ever seen” for his glamour shot.
