Feeling it
Let me tell you something about where Drew is from.
Pearl River NY. About 5-10 min from where I live on the border of Northern NJ. Super tight community. They go into his upbringing and touch on that in the Athletic feature on him. It’s no surprise that 40 of his family and friends went up to Canada to support him.
Heavy Irish population, big families going back generations. Not a huge town but well over a dozen Irish pubs and restaurants dotting Central and Main. Some kick ass breweries. All worth a visit.
The Saint Patrick's Day Parade is unlike any small towns' in the US. We go every year and its a sick event. It's up there with Boston and NYC and I'm being completely serious. People train in from Hoboken, Jersey City, etc. instead of going into Manhattan.
Its amazing that he got drafted by the Rangers and Pearl River is literally 15 min over the Tap to the practice facility. Isn't more of a hometown kid than him. Rooting for him hard and if he keeps this up he will be donning Ranger blue in MSG before we know it.
