MONTREAL – Sven Andrighetto loves Quebec so much that he has it tattooed on his heart. Literally.
Andrighetto’s stint with the Quebec-based Rouyn-Noranda Huskies had a significant impact on the type of player – and the type of person – that he eventually became. By his own admission, it wasn’t in his native Switzerland that he first thought he could one day reach the pros, but rather when he arrived in North America at the age of 18.
When he was selected 11th overall by the Huskies during the CHL Import Draft back in 2011, Andrighetto didn’t know much about Quebec, and even less about Abitibi-Temiscamingue.
