Oilers pick Ryan Nugent-Hopkins reluctantly enters the spotlight - Puck Daddy - NHL Blog - Yahoo! Sports
“It was about eight years ago now,” he said of his father’s diagnosis. “They didn’t tell me or my brother right away. Then I found out a few years later. Obviously, it was tough to hear. No kid wants to hear that about his dad. But he battled through it, and he’s doing really well.
“Not only have I worked hard for this moment, but my parents put so much into this too. It’s going to be great for our while family.”
-Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, No. 1 Pick for the Edmonton Oilers in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.
