“Huge relief,” Hain said. “Waiting there, you don’t know when it’s going to happen and it finally does. I mean, with Philadelphia, there’s not a better place I could think of to go to.
“So it’s awesome being able to go down there and meet all the upstairs people and the scouts down on the floor. Being able to put the jersey on is a sigh of relief and there was a lot of excitement.”

He also received a text from one of his NTDP teammates, Joel Farabee, a left wing who the Flyers drafted in the first round (14th overall).
“Right after it happened, he texted me ‘I’d like to see you in Philly’ because the next day we went to the development camp,” Hain said. “So we texted a little bit and the next day we saw each other, so it was pretty cool.”

NHL Entry Draft waiting game has sweet payoff for USA Hockey NTDP alum Hain
