Matthew Shaver explains his intentions Al -Jazeera after the NHL Whirlwind draft

Ten minutes or so, his first practice as an island, two days After draftingOne day after leaving a private plane at Varminjeljille Airport, and before his third interview in the morning, Matthew Chevir was one request.

“Can I sit?” He asked.

Things went very quickly for this 17 -year -old, there was not much time to do this recently.

Speaking to Shaver is the feeling of intersection with his small world.

At some point in all madness, he watched a video clip from a party party at Stone Kreik, Ontario, with all his teachers at a party at the end of the year, Gary Betmann announces his name with No. 1, madness, chanting and smell.

Elsewhere, he opened his phone and had texts from Matthew Takatok and Kunoor Makadafad. The thing that still did not stop screaming.

“I answered all my messages, (but) there is a handful that I still did not answer” because I answered all of them and then a handful that continues to come. “You must die soon. I was trying to answer as much as possible. ”

Shaver said, on Sunday night, it was the first time in time to get a real night.

Therefore, there were no nerves when he reached the ice wearing a jacket from the island’s residents for the first time in the development camp in front of a crowd of fans of a decent size that came out on Monday morning to obtain a glimpse of the future of the concession.

There was a lot that was happening, almost easy to forget that Monday also doubled as the first official practice of Shaver – has worked a lot separately – since he was broken in the World Junior Championship two days after Christmas.

He said: “I was smiling at the ear on the ear all the time, just to return there.” “I said this a lot: Hockey players don’t like watching. To get all the equipment, play with other players, and go out there it was a big thing for me. I can’t wait. I can’t wait to start working hard as much as I can in the summer, so I manufacture this opening night list.”

Don’t make mistakes: Now that Schaefer is here in New York, the goal is to stay.

“One hundred percent,” he said. “Obviously, the draft is a good fun, but you have put the work shoes. You want to play in the NHL, you want to play as long as you can. For me, just my body willingness, work as hard as possible, play with the NHL youth throughout the summer, and work hard, they will push me. In that environment is very big. I want to be on () the opening menu).”

On Monday, a slight practice provided a few evidence to achieve this goal. It is rare, though, choosing No. 1 to start the season in NHL, and go to the start of the Free Agency on Tuesday, the blue island line looked ripe for Shaver to seize a place.

It will also not harm, that he will work this summer in a group that includes Adam Bilish and Ashiaa George, with the former defender of Calgary Mark Giordano manage things.

“We have been held throughout the summer this season,” George said. “He is a really good child, very modest, only the way he is around in his work is very professional. You will not realize that he is a choice from the first round only with how modesty and how much it happens.

Once things are definitely calmed down in the world of Schaefer, this is the bottom line: the island’s residents have really got a good hockey player.

He said: “Getting to formulate a nice thing, it is clear – the first in general is a great honor – but you put it in the past.” “Obviously, you can always think about it, but when you are in the camp while you are in the hockey game, you put it behind
