FIRST ARTICLE
Nat Emerson was born in Boston, Massachusetts to parents Maurice and Nadine. Nat was born with the ice in his veins. His father was a well known winger for South Boston High School with his sights on college hockey until he tore his MCL and ACL in a bench clear brawl against Boston College High School. His mother was an accomplished speed skater, making the US Olympic team three times. The middle child of five sons, Nat seemed to never leave the rink. Watching, playing, or reffing mite games, Nat never shied away from learning the game or taking a beating when skating with his older brothers. Growing up, Nat originally played wing in hopes to follow is the footsteps of his father. Nat inherited everything from his father except for his hands though and could never put up the goals like his old man. His size, penchant for taking the body, and passing skills led a coach to put Nat on the back end and things seemed to just click. Standing at 6 foot 4 inches and 250 pounds, physicality has always been Emerson's game. He is a no nonsense defender looking to shut down anything in his zone and start the break out with his passing skills. Emerson will never shy away from a hit and that can lead him into trouble penalty wise. After going undrafted, Nat has been pushing himself to improve the weak points of his game. He has been working on his skating first and foremost. He is never going to be the most agile guy on the ice but he is improving his stride and starting to pick up a lot more speed in a shorter amount of time. Nat Emerson was signed by the Detroit Falcons and is chomping at the bit to show every other team in the league how big of a mistake they made in not drafting him. 322 words
