LW Kevin He 109 2024 NHL DRAFT

I just wanted to say from watching videos of this kid, not only does he handle himself well, but he looks to be a peak conditioned athlete. Very fit and toned, with very noticeable lean muscle. I'm guessing the kid is big time fitness focused.

I said it at the start of day two of the draft before pick #33 that He was on my Jets wish list of hopefuls selected.

I have a good feeling He’s going to be a gem from this draft.
 
I’m starting to think we may have gotten a couple of steals in this year’s draft, He being one of them.

Speaking of HE I noticed a Chinese woman named HE playing on the LPGA. They pronounced it as a kind of clipped, soft e. Sort of like hu, not the pronoun he.

I'm just waiting for him to pull a Yo-el on everyone, and point out that his first name is pronounced Kay-VAN. :nod:
 
I heard somewhere that it was pronounced more like the "he" in "her", than the "he" in "he".
In the video's Kevin pronounces it HE like hee.
Could be his parents just adapted the pronunciation to make life easier. Or maybe, there's a difference in the surnames in CHina with He as in "her" and He as in "Hee"
I'm not a chinese speaker myself but a friend took lessons and a simple inflection or tone change on a vowel sound can change a word dramatically.

However he pronounces it is fine by me. HE it is.
