Top 25U25: #6 Josh Ho-Sang gets a fresh start

Josh Ho-Sang’s time with the Islanders has been filled with highs and lows. There’s the day he was drafted, where the Isles decided to trade up to grab him, and then-GM Garth Snow responded to Ho-Sang’s critics by saying “they shit on me too,” showing what could then be seen as a shared chip-on-the-shoulder mentality.

It didn’t quite go smoothly from there, though, with Ho-Sang earning himself an early exit from training camp after arriving late to a practice, and then patiently awaiting a call-up while mediocre veterans earned major minutes. At the end of the 2016-17 season, Ho-Sang finally earned his call-up, and did pretty well with it, too.
