Brad Hunt’s love for hockey always has been great and his road to the NHL hasn’t always been smooth.
Which made the 29-year-old defenseman the ideal candidate to represent the Golden Knights for the 2018 Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy.
Hunt was selected by the Las Vegas chapter of the Professional Hockey Writers Association as the Knights’ representative for the Masterton Trophy, which goes to the player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey. The award was created in 1968 after Masterton died Jan. 15, 1968 following a head injury sustained while playing for the Minnesota North Stars.
