If Kyle Aucoin needs any inspiration for the long and difficult process of reaching the NHL that awaits him as a sixth-round pick, he can glean it from his dad.
Adrian Aucoin was a fifth-round pick selected 117th overall in 1992 and ended up playing 1,108 NHL games over 17 seasons.
Kyle, selected 156th overall by the Detroit Red Wings this year, aims to one day reach hockey’s highest level.
“He’s always been my role model, someone I could always look up to,” Kyle said.
