to bring him here?

Yeah, obviously, it was a bit of a longer journey, an extra year there in U18.

I was fortunate enough to go on the draft there.

Went into juniors after that, got a year in the OJ, which was, I think, a good stepping stone for the OHL, and then made my way up and had a year last year in North Bay and now here in London.

Yeah, excited.

What did it teach you to battle through that kind of thing where there was no guarantee, but you made it happen?

Yeah, I think it's always good to go through some type of adversity.

It helps you grow and learn as a player and not just as a player, as a person as well.
