Alex Biega has always believed he could be a National Hockey League regular. It’s the rest of the hockey world that had to be convinced.
They’re starting to come around.
Biega logged his 11th NHL game this season on the Canucks’ defence Tuesday in Tampa Bay, collecting an assist in Vancouver’s 2-1 win over the Lightning that concluded a six-game road trip.
Biega will live to see Game No. 12 tonight — and maybe a whole lot more than that.
That brings a smile to the face of the player his peers call Bulldog.
Biega is 27 now and has logged 347 games in the American Hockey League, never giving up belief in himself.
