Ryan Nugent- Hopkins making a name for his self- all three of the





Nugent- Hopkins is from Burnaby, BC. He is threatening to become the next big thing to come from the Lower Mainland and he intends to do it with all three of his names.  He hopes to be able to keep both names on his jersey. 

Nugent- Hopkins is only 17 years old and is except to be draft really high in the 2011 NHL entry draft. In 2008, he was selected first overall in the Western Hockey League bantam draft. Last spring he was named WHL rookie of the year. Last summer, he scored the gold-medal game-winner gaol for Canada at the world under-18 Ivan Hlinka tournament in the Czech Republic.

He grows up in South Burnaby and attended Suncrest elementary school. He played most of his  for the Burnaby Winter Club.

I think that is just crazy that a guy that I played hockey against just a couple years ago in bantam. He still should be in high school and is except to be in the top three drafts picks for this coming up NHL entry draft. He could be making millions of dollars in the next couple years if he can make it onto a NHL team. I don’t think he will be NHL ready for next season but he will play in the NHL soon.

That make me think that since I’m the same age as him, and he has been able to accomplish call this in such a short time and I have done basically nothing compared to him.
