It was the youngster's first skating lesson — not even a game.Celebrini pushed himself from that moment onward. All the work led him to Sin City's searing heat and the NHL draft.
"It's been a long process ever since last summer and there's been a lot going on," said Celebrini, whose name was called by Sharks legend Joe Thornton."I've really enjoyed spending time with my friends and family, going through this with them.Celebrini knows Northern California well after the family moved there when his dad took a job with the NBA's Golden State Warriors in 2018.
"I didn't think this was an option for me," said Sennecke, a winger ranked as the 11th-best North American skater according to NHL Central Scouting."To hear my name called by them, it was definitely shocking." The Utah Hockey Club's first selection since moving from Arizona was centre Tij Iginla at No. 6. The son of Hall of Fame winger Jarome Iginla now has family draft bragging rights after dad went No. 11 in 1995.
Montreal took centre Michael Hage at No. 21, the Flames picked winger Matvei Gridin at No. 28, the Toronto Maple Leafs grabbed defenceman Ben Danford at No. 31, and the Edmonton Oilers chose forward Sam O'Reilly at No. 23.The draft, which continues Saturday, is being held inside the cavernous Sphere — a US$2.3-billion venue unlike any other in the world that features a massive screen made up of 64,000 LED tiles offering jaw-dropping visuals.
