In his ongoing silent protest to decisions that some committees have made in the SHL, Nicky Pedersen Jr. will not be showing up at any league sponsored awards night. Instead of watching a bunch of awards being given out to the popular kids, Nicky decided to go to the local St. Joseph's Children Hospital where he regularly visits kids that are dealing with very serious illnesses. No photo's from the press core, just one player deciding to try and make a difference in the lives of the people that really matter. The fans. The youngest fans who idolize these Hockey players, and would do anything they could to be able to step on to the ice just once. Pedersen, one never to look for the spotlight himself, doesn't like to draw negative attention, so he quietly lets his teammates know that he is sitting out these spectacles in favor of bringing a small slice of joy to the fans that have gotten the short end of the stick. Hopefully, the time that NPJr. spends with the kids will help them on their way to recovery.
