Former Pittsburgh Penguins sixth-round draft pick Jaden Lindo, Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션21, GDB카지노 게임 컬렉션21, was drafted by the National Hockey League team in 2014. He was finally 카지노 게임 컬렉션called up카지노 게임 컬렉션 by the team in 2021, although not in the way he was initially expecting.
The former star, who helped Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s win an Ontario 카지노게임사이트 Athletics (OUA) , is now the manager of community hockey programs for the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation.
His job is to help bring diversity to hockey in the Pittsburgh area and his role includes leading the Willie O카지노 게임 컬렉션Ree Academy, which offers resources and off-season training to Black youth hockey players.
Mr. Lindo never achieved his dream of taking a shift on the ice as an NHL player. But now he can make a difference in the sport he loves by helping promote and train the next generation of diverse players.
카지노 게임 컬렉션I had two goals that I wanted in hockey 카지노 게임 컬렉션 to make the NHL and to leave a positive impact on the game,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Mr. Lindo. 카지노 게임 컬렉션So, I didn카지노 게임 컬렉션t make the NHL in the capacity that I originally thought. But you know that second dream? Pittsburgh gave me this opportunity and platform to be able to make that change in the game and change kids카지노 게임 컬렉션 lives, too.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Mr. Lindo, who grew up in Brampton, Ont., started playing hockey as a kid and was talented enough to be recruited by the Toronto Marlboros minor hockey club, playing alongside future NHLers Connor McDavid and Sam Bennett. This helped him make the jump to the Ontario Hockey League (OHL), where he played several seasons with Owen Sound and Sarnia.
Unfortunately, in his NHL draft year, he tore his anterior cruciate ligament, or ACL, which helps stabilize the knee joint. He still managed to be picked 173rd overall.
카지노 게임 컬렉션It was a turning point in my career,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Mr. Lindo. 카지노 게임 컬렉션I felt the following year after my ACL surgery was the worst year that I had.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Soon he was at a crossroads. He was cut by the Penguins two years after he was drafted, and his OHL career was over. Mr. Lindo could have played in a minor pro league and tried to work his way to the NHL. Instead, he felt the best option was to take the free tuition offered through the OHL카지노 게임 컬렉션s scholarship program and enrol at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s, giving him the chance to extend his playing days with the Gaels and earn a degree at a university with a great academic reputation.
카지노 게임 컬렉션I had an absolutely fantastic time at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s. I loved my experience,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Mr. Lindo, who juggled academics and training with volunteer duties such as raising money to support the Hockey Diversity Alliance카지노 게임 컬렉션s initiatives to eradicate racism from hockey.
The highlight at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노 게임 컬렉션 and of his entire hockey career 카지노 게임 컬렉션 was scoring the winning goal in the OUA championship game in 2019 in front of a full house of screaming Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s fans at Memorial Arena.
While studying for his Graduate Diploma in Business at the Smith School of Business, he received a text message out of the blue from Penguins Foundation executive director Jim Britt. It turned out someone had recommended Mr. Lindo for the community manager position.
The role is a perfect fit because diversity and inclusion are issues Mr. Lindo is passionate about. At age six, he faced his first instance of racism while playing hockey when he was harassed during a game. Now, he has a chance to help prevent that happening to other young hockey players of colour.
카지노 게임 컬렉션I am happy I have a job that helps remove some of the barriers I went through and allows me to give back to the community that has given me so much,카지노 게임 컬렉션 Mr. Lindo says.
