WHL teams literally told jaret anderson-dolan that they didn’t want him because he has two moms. hockey is for everyone, eh
Here’s a link to the story:

I just want to expand a little on what’s in the article:
- Jaret used pride tape and his whole team joined in to use it for warm-ups and two others, Nolan Reid and Tyson Helgesen, kept it for the duration of the game even though it’s not that well made
- When asked what he felt about slipping from top five to No.14 in the draft: “I can’t change people’s opinions. If that’s how they feel about it, I’d honestly rather not be in that organization if they’re going to be like that,”
- He’s hyper competitive and he gets it from his mother, Fran
- His moms, Fran & Nancy, met on ice and he’s been skating since he was 18 months old
- He’s got “an NHL shot, he knows where he’s going”
- At 16 he was invited to do VO2 testing during preseason camp, a test normally only done by veterans, he was in the mid 60s and no one else even hit 60
- Already recognizes the importance of having a life outside hockey to not burn out, somehow manages this while still shooting 100 pucks a day and being generally elite
He’s going to be eligible in the upcoming 2017 draft and guess who just found her new favourite upcoming rookie
