Is There A Father Son Possibility in the NHL?

[KirkAlbuquerque]

If some guy knocks up his high school sweetheart when he is 15 or 16, has a great career and his son ends up being a high draft pick and plays the following season . . . maybe.

No kid who is on the fast track to the NHL has a “high school sweetheart” lol. In fact that doesn’t even exist these days even amongst non elite jock teenagers

Didnt Gordie Howe play with both his sons?

We’ll never have a 50 year old player again though

This seems pretty far-fetched. It would have to be a very young father, a long-playing career, and a son who is probably a high draft pick that make an impact in the NHL right away. Add to that the variable of trying to get them on the same team. I mean, we're making jokes about LeBron and the NBA, but he's almost 40, a physical specimen, and still playing at a high level. Having him and Bronny on the court at the same time isn't as much of a stretch.

I was trying to say it nicely. High school sweetheart sounds better than teenaged puck bunnies that get raw dogged by high school hockey bro.

I'm sure Jagr has some kids out there somewhere.

That would be grandpa and son
