Well, he wasn't even the SHL, but I definitely looked up to and quickly befriended Dank Boija in the SMJHL on the Falcons; he was the first friend I had in the league. He was already drafted by Toronto at that time, so it was my first glimpse into what it would be like to eventually be drafted and go to the big leagues. Also, as a fellow Scandinavian, he got me invested in international hockey by inviting me to co-GM in the WJC with him, and together we won a gold medal, which was a very special experience. He got traded to Hamilton recently we both got called up at the same time (this year), so I was very happy for him and hope his rookie season is going better than mine. Overall, he caught my eye just because he was nice, witty, and friendly, and I'm glad that I've gotten to know him.
