Senators Jordan Spence eager to be an inspiration

At day two of the NHL Draft, the Ottawa Senators made a trade to improve their defense by trading for defenseman Jordan Spence from the Los Angeles Kings.

Spence was solid as a King for the past two seasons. With his game growing at 24 years old, Spence can help improve the Senators defense.

What some might not know about Spence is he was born in Australia, but was raised in Osaka, Japan. With Japanese roots, Spence is looking to become more of an inspiration for Japanese hockey players.
