Local Winnipeg product Jason Kasdorf recently sat down did an interview to discuss how special it is being drafted by your hometown.
Being drafted to the NHL is a distinguished honour not many people get to experience in their lifetime. But in the case of goaltender Jason Kasdorf, he recently sat down with Jamie Thomas from "Jets ground control" to discuss the significance of being drafted by the city you grew up in.
«Shortly before the draft, you realize there's a team in Winnipeg but at the time there was I think 30 teams and so in your mind you're not thinking ‘Will it be Winnipeg, or will it be these guys or those guys? Because I knew I would be a later round pick, I was just hoping to get drafted and so basically to anyone that would be cool. You're hometown team, I didn't think that would even be an option.»
Kasdorf was selected by the Winnipeg Jets 157th overall back in 2011. He has spent some time playing for the Buffalo Sabers, but now finds himself back in his home province playing for the Manitoba Moose, the Jets farm affiliate in the AHL. It's a heartfelt story that speaks to the significance of being drafted by your hometown.
