Tyler Myers of the Buffalo Sabres has been named one of three finalists for the Calder Trophy as the NHL rookie of the year.
I spoke to Tyler's dad Paul earlier today about being recognized as one of the best first year players in the NHL.
"That's your dream,right, is to watch your kid realize his dream. Did I think he was going to be as impactful as he has been? No. (laugh)
"It's been better than I expected. The thing with Tyler has always been to manage his growing. Consistency has always been an issue with him and a lot of it had to do with him growing so much, and that's finally settled down. He's added strength over the last year and that's really helped him a lot," Paul Myers added.
"It's an incredible honour for him and it's really exciting. He's had a really good year and he's right up there with those guys so it will be interesting to see how it works out. However it turns out he can be quite proud of just being nominated".
