Givani Smith’s Path To The NHL
from Carlos Monarrez of the Detroit Free Press,
“I didn’t get here by myself,” said Givani, who was among a small group of young players who were assigned Thursday to the Grand Rapids Griffins while the Wings are on break for the NHL All-Star game. “I had a lot of people help me get to where I’m at right now. There’s so many thanks yous I can give. At the same time, nothing that really repay all the time my dad’s put in, my aunt’s put in to get me to where I’m at right now.”
