Shannon, drafted 40th, turned hearing aids into hardware, going from walk-on to captain with 19 goals and 43 points. Van Gelder, picked 52nd, dominated face-offs and scored 10 goals at Cornell, even sharing ice with future teammate Rory Guilday. Kirchmair, at 64, lit up Providence with 14 goals and 25 points, already familiar with her new squad. These three aren’t just rookies—they’re ready to roar. And Shannon? She joked she’s finally getting picked so she can use the restroom. The future’s loud, and San Jose’s drafting it. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
