It all started a year ago when my name got called in the First Niagara Center in Buffalo, New York. “With the first overall pick in the 2016 NHL entry draft the Carolina Hurricanes are proud to select Samual Cane.” It was a dream come true for me and for the organization and the fans. My draft stock went up throughout the year from being projected not to be drafted, to a clear number one above players like Austin Matthews, Matthew Tkachuk, and Jacob Chychrun. This was a miracle to most people, but this wasn’t the highlight of the season. This was the year where the first NHL game was played during a hurricane. Through the season I suffered my ups and downs. I had my great moments, and I had my terrible moments. I ended the season leading my team in points, goals, and assists, and led us to a wild card spot in the playoffs. This season was full of miracles. We were the only team in the history of the NHL to go down in each series 3-0 and come back and win it. Same happened in the Stanley Cup Final. We went down 3-0 against a powerhouse Chicago team looking for a three-peat. We came back to tie the series 3-3 with a couple of clutch goals by me and the Staal brothers. All of this led up to the final game. …show more content…

Stanley Cup final game 7. At home in the PNC Arena. I’ve been waiting for this moment my entire life ever since I could hold a stick and hit a puck. I was in my basement recreating my own version of this game day after day hoping one it will come true. Today is that day. Today is the day I’m going to win the Stanley Cup. During the season I stayed at the Staal residence with the Staal brothers, Eric and Jordan. Eric is one of the best hockey players I have ever seen. In the past couple of seasons were rough for him. He didn’t really have anyone to play with until I came around. He always joked with saying “Are you sure you’re only 18, cause you look like Wayne Gretzky out

Flames older prospects ready for the big stage The Calgary Flames have been able to quickly assess whether or not a number of their prospects are ready for NHL action over the last few years. With Sam Bennett, Micheal Ferland, and Joni Ortio playing a role in the team’s recent success, there are a number of players behind them working to do the same. The Flames prospect pool is interesting because skaters who play professionally outnumber those who play junior or amateur hockey by a decent margin. The Flames penchant for patience, both in preferring older CHL players and allowing their collegiate prospects to play-out their four years, results in an older and more experienced prospect pool.

The smack of the stick on the ice echoed in the arena, and for a moment everyone’s breathes went still and silent. 6… The puck bounded at the net like a dog after a cat. 5… The loud ringing of the puck off the post met everyone’s ears, and as the puck bounced in slow motion and swished to the back of the net, it sent my team into hysterics.

The worst day of my senior year all started one cold November morning, I was sitting at the breakfast table in silence. It was not because I had just woken up, but because I was focused.
