SJHN Daily: Celebrini-Matthews Social Media Buzz, Pavelski’s Son Drafted
Joe Pavelski’s son is following in his footsteps.
The San Jose Sharks legend’s son – 15-year-old Nate Pavelski – was drafted to the USHL.
The Waterloo Black Hawks – who Joe played two seasons for from 2002 to 2004 – selected Nate 31st overall in the third round of the draft.
Joe was named the USHL Rookie of the Year in the 2002-03 season, where he scored 36 goals and 33 assists through 60 games played.
While Joe was then drafted, 205th overall, by the San Jose Sharks in 2003, Nate is still three years from being NHL Draft eligible, with an October birthday.
Nate has been playing for the Madison Capitals AAA team, where the forward recorded 27 goals and 42 assists in 59 games played in his U-15 year.
The coach of that team?
Joe himself.
