PENTICTON, B.C. — If you ever thought at some point you’d like to be a fly on the wall for a conversation involving one of the NHL’s top agitators, Brendan Lemieux practically issued the invite on Saturday.
Lemieux’s not the pest/player with those NHL credentials, at least not yet, but the 19-year-old left-winger’s father Claude, the longtime NHLer and multiple Stanley Cup winner, certainly qualifies.
So how does that chat go between Winnipeg Jets prospect and father, mentor, advisor and agent?
"He’s the person I look up to the most," Lemieux said after today's Jets practice at the South Okanagan Events Centre.
