Draisaitl admits he doubted his NHL future during 1,000-point ceremony, honored with gifts and $50,000 in charity donations as family flies from Germany to attend.
Edmonton Oilers star Leon Draisaitl celebrated his recent milestone with a 1,000-point ceremony that took place Saturday, Jan. 10 at Rogers Place before the Oilers' game against the Los Angeles Kings, nearly a month after he reached the milestone on Dec. 16.
The 30-year-old center was joined on the ice by his wife Celeste Desjardins, parents Peter and Sandra, his sister, and his 84-year-old grandmother who traveled from Germany for the occasion.
