Cale Makar got a Conn Smythe Trophy. Nathan MacKinnon got a day named after him in Halifax.
Alex Newhook got a mural.
A massive commemoration of Newhook’s budding hockey career was unveiled last month in his hometown of St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador. The mural shows Newhook hoisting the Stanley Cup for the Colorado Avalanche, surrounded by other smaller images tracing his career from the local Avalon Celtics junior team.
It might just be the biggest public mural ever made for a 22-year-old.
“Huge poster there. I didn’t realize how big it would be,” Newhook said, laughing.
