Move over, hockey legends – there’s a new name making waves! 🚀 Eighteen-year-old Wang Haoxi (Simon Wang) just became the highest-drafted Chinese player in NHL history, and he’s spilling the puck-sized secrets of his rise to Sports Scene’s Shen Xiang.
🔥 Drafted by the San Jose Sharks, Wang gushed about his training camp experience: "It’s like stepping into a video game – but better!" The teen phenom is already eyeing NHL ice time while balancing rookie nerves and superstar dreams.
From Beijing to Big Leagues
Wang’s journey wasn’t all slapshots and glory. Moving to Canada at 14 meant language barriers, homesickness, and -40°C practices. "I’d call my mom crying," he admits. But through it all? "Her voice kept me skating when I wanted to quit." ❤️
More Than Goals
For this rising star, hockey’s about character: "The ice teaches resilience – how to fall and get up stronger." As Asian representation grows in hockey, Wang’s message to fans? "Dream big, work harder, and always pass the puck of kindness." 🏆
