Hunter Shinkaruk grew up in Calgary, but as a Canadiens fan. So Shinkaruk was thrilled when the Canadiens acquired him this summer from the Calgary Flames in exchange for Kerby Rychel. His father, Dr. Roger Shinkaruk, is the team dentist for the WHL’s Calgary Hitmen and a dental consultant for Hockey Canada. I’m grateful for Vancouver drafting me and giving me a chance to play in my first NHL game there. I’ve played a few years pro now, so I’m pretty used to this whole process.
