If you could see my room right now, you\u2019d be embarrassed for me, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are posters of Sidney Crosby all over the walls. Even one of those life-size ones. I\u2019d stand up beside it every day when I was little, hoping that one day I\u2019d be as tall as number 87. I passed him when I was 12 years old, I think. And, even though those posters have been there forever and I\u2019m probably too old to have them in my room anymore \u2026 they stay up. Because it\u2019s Sid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m from Ajax, Ontario, where just about everyone is a Leafs fan \u2014 my dad included. But me, I grew up watching Sid take over the league and score the most important goal of all time at the Olympics in Vancouver. I was so drawn to him as a player that I became a Pens fan. And as a Pittsburgh fan living just outside Toronto, there was a sacred pilgrimage I had to make with my dad. In 2014, we went down to the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh to watch a playoff game. I had seen the Pens in Toronto a couple of times before, but to be there \u2014 in Pittsburgh \u2014 with Sid, Geno and Letang right in front of me \u2026 it was just incredible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s what I imagine hockey heaven is like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To experience it all with my dad, too, was the best. The best. I\u2019m not sure I could count all the hours we\u2019ve spent together on our way to and from rinks. Those rides with your dad are a hockey tradition, no matter where you\u2019re from. I remember the good ones, the bad ones after a tough loss, and all those in between. I even remember some of our first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I was six years old, I had Saturday morning games at the Ajax Community Centre, which wasn\u2019t too far from our house. So at 6:30, Dad would pop into my room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou wanna go to the rink early? Shoot some pucks?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019d always say yes. And thinking back on it now, maybe he was even more excited to go do that than I was. I\u2019d run downstairs, wolf down some Honey Nut Cheerios at our kitchen table, and then suit up in the hallway, trying not to wake Mom. It was usually the dead of winter, so it was pitch black outside still and cold enough that the wind would sting your face. Dad and I would run over to his Chrysler 300, pop the trunk, toss our sticks and bags in, and then turn the heat on as high as it would go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Five minutes later we\u2019d be at the rink. Just the two of us. Hours before my team would get there for our game. The lights would come on right at seven and we\u2019d hop on the ice. And there is nothing \u2014 nothing \u2014 like a fresh sheet of ice in the morning. Those first few minutes \u2026 I still remember that feeling. It\u2019s just perfect. Not really sure how to describe it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you know, you know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\u2019d always make sure I was having as much fun as possible. Hockey gets pretty intense pretty quick for a lot of kids in Canada. I know it now, and he knew it then. So we\u2019d shoot a bunch, chase each other around. He\u2019d time me doing laps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Man, it was really the most fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Out there, on that ice, time didn\u2019t exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And now, I\u2019m constantly being reminded of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve been thinking about it since September 2016, when I was in grade 10 my parents sat me down in the living room one day after school. The way they\u2019d said my name when they told me they wanted to talk \u2026 I knew something was wrong. I didn\u2019t know if it was about me, or Mom, or Dad \u2014 I just knew it was bad. Dad told me he had been diagnosed with multiple myeloma. I didn\u2019t know what that meant. I was 15. But when he said the word cancer, alarm bells just started going off in my head. I didn\u2019t want to be without my dad. Ever. I wanted more time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I didn\u2019t want to be without my dad. Ever. I wanted more time.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I found out that multiple myeloma is a type of cancer that never really goes away. It\u2019s something that you can fight, that you can beat into remission, but it\u2019s always sort of \u2026 there. It\u2019s debilitating, and to watch my dad start to get weaker as he began the battle it was just really hard. Everyday tasks like going up the stairs or driving became an exhausting ordeal for him. He spent time in and out of hospital over the next few months. Seeing him in a gown, on a bed \u2014 it just made me sick to my stomach. I could tell just by his face, by the way he spoke, that he wasn\u2019t quite himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s impossible to put into words how you feel when you see someone you love in a position like that. I just wanted to hug him and heal him. I just wanted to get him out of there. But every day, when Mom and I went to see him, we were the only ones allowed to leave. He never could.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About seven months after his diagnosis, in April 2017, I was drafted by the North Bay Battalion in the OHL. They play just three hours away from Ajax, so I knew I\u2019d be able to see my dad quite a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had been the third pick in the draft, and I thought that if I kept on my trajectory, I\u2019d have a chance to make it to the NHL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I was younger \u2026 it\u2019s not that it wasn\u2019t my dream to make it to the NHL, it\u2019s more that I just didn\u2019t think about it. I wasn\u2019t seven or eight years old and talking about playing for the Pens or Leafs, or anything like that. My dad and I went to see a bunch of Oshawa Generals games, so I\u2019d always thought about playing in the OHL. But my game had kept progressing before I got to North Bay, and I knew that if I kept getting better there was a chance I could make it to the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dad had always talked about me playing in the NHL. He never put any pressure on me to make it, or pushed me to go a certain direction. It was small things like when we\u2019d be at a Leafs game and he\u2019d say, \u201cWell, if you keep working, that could be you out there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think I always knew, deep down, that he wanted to see me in the NHL, even if I didn\u2019t fully realize it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when he got sick, his dream became my dream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though it was hard not to miss my parents when I was in North Bay, I found a new competitive edge. Every time I stepped on the ice, I left it all out there. For my dad. For me. And he fought in his own way, too. Even when he wasn\u2019t feeling his best \u2014 and when he wasn\u2019t in the hospital he\u2019d drive up to see me play whenever he could. Mom would come with him, and if he wasn\u2019t feeling great after the game, she\u2019d do the drive back. I\u2019d see him after games and I could tell he wasn\u2019t himself. He was tired and there were bags under his eyes, but he was there. He was there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was diagnosed before my OHL career started, and I think he\u2019s only missed 30 games so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s all the motivation I need to do an extra rep of anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My family, we\u2019re a team. I\u2019m an only child, so it\u2019s been the three of us my whole life. We look out for one another. My mom plays a huge role in that, too. She\u2019s been a rock for both me and my dad the last few years. I think I\u2019m a big, tough hockey player, but I still cuddle up to Mom on the couch sometimes when I\u2019m feeling the weight of everything. She\u2019s my best friend. That\u2019s what moms are for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We battled together as a group to try to help my dad as best we could. And in the summer of 2019, he actually got news from his doctor that his cancer was in remission. He went for checkups, but he didn\u2019t need any treatments for a few months, and it helped raise his spirits so much \u2014 it raised all our spirits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I brought that positive energy into this season \u2014 the most important season of my career so far, my draft year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being away from my parents while my dad was battling cancer hasn\u2019t been easy. But I do think it\u2019s been worth it. This past year, I worked extremely hard to up my game, and it led to my name being mentioned in some NHL draft rankings. I hadn\u2019t really let myself think about those lists before, because I didn\u2019t want to jinx anything. But when I was chosen for the CHL Top Prospects game in January, I knew I\u2019d have a serious chance to hear my name called at the draft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve pictured that moment. I saw myself in Montreal with Mom and Dad, hearing my name called and hugging them before walking up on stage to join an NHL club. I\u2019ve wanted so badly for it to come true. But 2020 changed everything. And I know, having to wait a few more months to do a virtual NHL draft is nothing compared to what so many are going through around the world, I understand that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But COVID-19 isn\u2019t the only thing that my family has had to deal with this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dad\u2019s cancer came back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s been even tougher on his body this time around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When our season was canceled last March, I went back home to spend time with him. His cancer had returned in January, but he was still at home and going through treatments as an outpatient. But things got worse in April, and he had to spend a month in the hospital. At the time, case numbers for COVID-19 were so high in Ontario that visitors weren\u2019t allowed. I didn\u2019t see Dad for a month. Instead, we\u2019d FaceTime and talk about my training, or my draft prep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there\u2019s no replacement for spending time with your dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve been able to see him more regularly this last year \u2014 both at home and in the hospital \u2014 and I haven\u2019t taken a single second around him for granted. And the truth is, I don\u2019t exactly know what\u2019s going to happen to him. He\u2019s home now right now, and he will be for the draft, but he\u2019s been in and out of hospital all year. My parents keep a lot of the details between themselves and the doctors so I don\u2019t worry too much. I know he\u2019s going in sometime soon for a multiweek process to try and remove as much of the cancer as possible. It\u2019s pretty bad right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I\u2019ve visited him in the hospital recently, I make it a point to keep it light. We talk about hockey and my new puppy, Cooper. I do my best to be there for Dad, to be as positive as possible. That\u2019s the most important thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I wish I had the courage to tell him how much he means to me. I haven\u2019t been able to say that yet. That\u2019s one reason I\u2019m writing this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve tried. I really have. I just wish it didn\u2019t make us both tear up right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I could get past the tears, I\u2019d tell him he\u2019s the strongest, bravest person I\u2019ve ever met in my life. I\u2019d tell him he\u2019s raised me to be the man I am today. I would thank him for everything that he’s done for me. And how, even with everything that he\u2019s going through, he just continues to be a strong and loving father for me, and how I can\u2019t thank him enough for that. I would tell him how he\u2019s the toughest competitor in the world. I\u2019d tell him he motivates me to be as strong as he is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wish I could tell him that in all those hours we spent together driving to see my hero Sidney Crosby, I didn\u2019t realize that my real hero was in the seat beside me all along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dad, you are my hero. I love you so much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dad, you are my hero. I love you so much.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I wish I could go back to that fresh sheet of ice at seven in the morning. I\u2019d tell that version of myself how lucky<\/em> he is that he has that guy as his dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know that I wouldn\u2019t be here, with a chance to be drafted by an NHL team, if it weren\u2019t for my parents. If I could go on stage \u2014 if there even were a stage \u2014 I\u2019d take them up there with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s my team, forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when the moment comes, and I hear my name, and we\u2019re all watching in front of a screen in our living room in Ajax, I know it will be perfect. It doesn\u2019t matter that I won\u2019t get to go onstage in a jersey. It doesn\u2019t matter that I won\u2019t get to experience draft weekend. It doesn\u2019t matter that it won\u2019t be in front of a packed stadium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I just know that I\u2019ll be with Mom and Dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And\u00a0that<\/em>\u00a0is all that matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
