Silverstick given to him for playing in his 1,000th NHL game is tucked away in his basement and is a special awardGrowing up in a small town in western Canada, hockey just became a part of his life early in his childhood with baseball in the summer and hockey the rest of the year
Moved away as a teenager part of the year to be able to compete against better competitionRealized that the NHL could be a part of his future around 18-19 years old and was drafted in the 2000 NHL Entry NHL Draft by the expansion team Minnesota Wild
Would spend 10 years in Minnesota helping the Wild reach the Western Conference Finals against the Anaheim DucksGrew up an Edmonton Oilers fan and was traded to Edmonton and was a special moment but his fonded memories were in Minnesota
Finished out his career in Philadelphia after the 2017 season and now is enjoying the time with his family while easing into what the next chapter looks like for him and his familyLessons learned from sports involves the understanding to of being part of a team and learning how to care for others, being a good teammate, and being there for others
Words of Wisdom from Nick Schultz:“For young kids, don’t take things for granted and every day you have to work hard to prove your spot regardless of what you do. Don’t get ahead of yourself, keeping working hard and enjoy the ride in whatever it may be.”
