Many years from now, Luca will hang up his skates and his pads. It is an inevitable truth that comes with age. I don’t think he really cares for personal awards and all-star team nominations.

The true measure of a legacy is being present for the team’s success. And a successful career needs to have completed one major goal. Win a Challenge Cup.

But hey, should he win a few individual awards over the course of his career, and maybe, somehow, make it to the Hall of Fame, Luca is not the kind of person to shirk away these awards and honors. At the end of the day, many years after he retires, Luca truly hopes that his contributions to the game, and to his team, are remembered.
