From Youtube sensation to NCAA sensation: a journey eight years in the making for Calgary Flames prospect Mathias Emilio Pettersen.
When we last checked in
Pettersen was drafted out of the USHL, where he put up decent but not astounding numbers. The 5’10 left-handed forward (he plays all three positions, was primarily RW for Denver) was a ho-hum producer for the Muskegon Lumberjacks. Generally regarded for his high hockey IQ and slick moves, he never really showed them off enough to make a major impression, and slipped all the way into the Flames’ hands in the sixth round.
