It’s not often that a 7th-round pick becomes one of the most talked-about members of an NHL team’s brand new draft class, but that was certainly the case with Dallas Stars prospect Jermaine Loewen this past June.
There were plenty of reasons to like and talk about Loewen based off of his on-ice play. The 6-foot-4 winger was coming off of an impressive 36-goal, 64-point season with the WHL’s Kamloops Blazers, leading his team in both categories.
But it was his off-ice story that caught the minds, and the hearts, of Stars fans.
