“It’s pretty exciting,” Hirose said after practice. “You never really, growing up, know if you’re going to be able to play at the NHL level in that rink. I’m sure once we get there, it will be a little bit more exciting. Right now. I’m just taking it day by day.”
Hirose is expecting a good cheering section at Scotiabank Saddledome Thursday night, including parents Susan and Chris, but doesn’t have an exact number.
I bet Taro Hirose will score his first goal of the season tonight against the Flames. He’ll be playing with new linemates too.
