Highlight number 1: Finally getting the call
Starting my career I had all sorts of people whispering things into my ear. I had people telling me I could go in the first three rounds and I had people saying I was not gonna get drafted at all. I tried my hardest to stay realistic but also optimistic, but that became harder to do as the draft got farther and farther in. I saw more than a hundred picks go past and my name still wasn't getting called, teams started passing and my name still was on the board. And then finally I got a call from the Lethbridge GMs saying they were gonna give me a chance and I told them I would reward their faith in me.

Highlight number 2: First goal
As a defenseman who typically stays at home and tries to just effectively transfer the puck you get used to not scoring. It's not even something you think about, you aren't consumed by "when is my next goal coming". All that being said, it doesn't take away from how sweet it feels when that first one of the season goes in, especially on a new stage.

Highlight number 3: Ending top 10 in rookie scoring
As a first-generation with no real experience, I didn't come in expecting to score a ton of point and have a massive impact. But finishing top 10 for rookie scoring against so many established players made me feel like I have a bright future in the SHL.
