Saturday June 22nd, 2019, Vancouver: I’m getting ready for day two of the NHL Draft and after entering the arena I spot one prospect after another.
Patrik Puistola is browsing some of the merchandise in the fanshop with his dad. Nils Höglander and his family walk by me. It’s a great reminder that for most of these prospects and their families, the draft is as much an event to enjoy as it is for fans.
One of those family members having a great day in Vancouver is a kid, who 2 years later would be selected by the New York Rangers.
