All the hard work by goalie Michael Houser of the OHL's London Knights seems to have paid off. Houser, passed over by NHL teams during the past three drafts, on Monday reportedly signed an entry-level deal with the Panthers. Houser won the Red Tilson Trophy as the most outstanding player in the OHL in 2011-12. He also was the first American-born player and first player from London to be named the Canadian Hockey League's top goaltender.
