Song is first China-born player to be selected. Huge accomplishment for him.

 

[Michael Brand Eggs]

Anyong!

 

[The Undertaker]

Ho-Sang, Song....Isles getting all the Asian prospects.

 

[Siamese Dream]

This has got to be a joke, right?

 

[Dempsey]

Really out of left-field, but congrats to him for making history. At the very least it will be interesting to see how he fares if they bring him to North America.

 

[GKJ]

Sounds like he was going to school in New Jersey after he moved to Canada

Little bit of info about him:

[SensBrawler]

He's gonna be the steal of the draft.

 

[Stand Witness]

congrats to him

Very nice to see player drafted from china.. Maybe we can get a player from India too?

My friend Patel very gord player.. Scores much goals and great skating for the Bangladore hockeyclub i play goalie. Patel Kumar excellent player scouting report:


Shooting: 4/5
Defence: 3/5
Skating: 5/5
Physical: 2/5

Weakness: Small man. 165 cm but very quick like i said.. I see alot of Martin St-louis potential in him.. Superstar here in India, Patel Kumar. - Rakesh

How obscure is the league he played in this season? Very. Elite Prospects doesn't even have the stats for the league. I am really curious as to how the Islanders found him.

He's been in N-A for 3 years now.

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

Graduated prep school in NJ, guessing he'll go NCAA?

Apparently he is related to Wang somehow.

I know it's a 6th round pick but if you aren't going to draft seriously then you have a 0 percent chance of getting a player. This is the second time Wang has pulled something like this (Cody Rosen). The real puzzling thing is that he always does it in the 6th round as if his family and family friends' kids are on anyone else's radar.

hahaha this made me laugh harder than I should've.

 

[Rayzorexe]

Charles Wang must have had an input on this pick.

 

[thegutter]

its a joke from arrested development

 

[Duffman955]

what league did he play in?

 

[Jester9881]

Charles Wang invested heavily in hockey development in Asia when he first bought the Islanders. It's only a matter of time before that pays off.

Posting in this legendary thread

He's gonna be the steal of the draft.

Any solid facts to back that up, or are we just trying to look like The Amazing Kreskin?

 

[Dempsey]

He's been in N-A for 3 years now.

That's good to hear. Elite Prospects only has limited stats for him from China.

 

[agent082]

Positive thing is that he is a real human being.

 

[BonMorrison]

This is ****ing awesome. So happy to see this.
