I'm not a fan of inspirational porn but this incident is absolutely awesome. A Deaf single mother raised 5 kids, 4 of them in high elite hockey in Canada. One of them just got drafted by San Jose Sharks. The Director of Scouting for San Jose Sharks decided to draft Ozzy Wiesblatt not by voice but by fingerspelling. It was a tribute to Ozzy's mother, Kimmy White of Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Everyone knows it is friggin' expensive to send a child to play hockey. Kimmy had 4 sons who wanted to play professional hockey. Insanity. But they made it.
Congratulations to Ozzy and his mother for making it to NHL.
Now I know for sure Jason Lamberton, a huge fan of San Jose Sharks, is going to be thrilled.
Cheers,
