Shane Wright remembers the first arm he was asked to autograph.
"It was a forearm. I've signed a couple of them, actually," he said. "Signing people's skin has been a little weird for me."
Wright, 17, is a center for the Kingston Frontenacs of the Ontario Hockey League. He's also the consensus pick to go first overall in the 2022 NHL draft. An autograph on a forearm would seem like a precursor to permanence: It's possible someone would turn that signature into a tattoo, in honor of the NHL's next young star.
"I don't know about that," said Wright, with a laugh.
