With their fifth pick in the 2022 NHL Draft, the Canucks selected big defenceman Jackson Dorrington in the sixth round.
The North Reading, Massachusetts native, is related to a player who made NHL history.
Jackson is a distant cousin of Art Dorrington, who was the first black player in NHL history to sign an NHL contract.
Art signed with the New York Rangers back in 1950, although he never suited up for an NHL game.
Now, Jackson and his older brother Max continue to carry on the family hockey lineage.
