Meet Kevin He – the 18-year-old Beijing-born hockey phenom rewriting the NHL rulebook! The Winnipeg Jets just signed him to a three-year deal, making him the first player born in China to land an NHL contract. Talk about skating into the history books!
From Beijing Rinks to Big League Dreams
He’s been crushing it this season with 43 points (23 goals + 20 assists) as captain of the Ontario Hockey League’s Niagara IceDogs. But his journey started way before the IceDogs – he first laced up his skates seriously after moving to Montreal at age six.
Why This Signing Slaps Hard
While Song Andong became the first China-born NHL draftee in 2015 (shoutout to the Islanders!), He’s the real deal signing. His success could be the power play Asian hockey needs, inspiring a new generation from Shanghai to Shenzhen.
Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff put it straight: \"Kevin’s work ethic and leadership make him exactly who we want building our future.\" Mic drop moment for global sports diversity!
