Written Option 1

Being the grandson of a SHL player who wasn't a "great", but achieved some level of success nonetheless, Emil is used to playing second fiddle to a more notable family member. As such, he is honoured to accept his nomination to have a building in his hometown named after him. Being a passionate grower of various fruits and vegetables, Emil recently found out that he was going to have the local allotment gardens in Ornskoldsvik named after him and was over the moon. He immediately cleared his schedule to ensure that he would be there (not too tall of an order given Montreal's standing in the playoff race) and eagerly awaits being able to help spread his passion with the people of his hometown. Emil intends to return at least once a year to run a session with local children where he can take them for a skate at the local rink before sharing some useful hints and tips for when it comes to growing vegetables, hopefully imparting some of his passion to them and beginning their own lifelong love affair with the process.
