it does annoy me how media surrounding the kings and Jordan Spence is more interested in talking about where he was born, a place he doesn’t feel that connected to, compared to a place he literally learned how to play hockey. like I beg kings media to talk more about Jordan’s time in Japan and the difference because it is so interesting

#as much as I love Australia being mentioned around hockey I just wish media was equally excited about Jordan learning and playing #hockey in japan #like there have been 3 players from japan to get drafted to the nhl and only one of those three made the nhl #his name was yutaka fukufuji he was a goalie abd was drafted 283rd by the kings in 2004 and played 4 games #he is so unique and special because he didn’t start out in a hockey hot bed like canada USA Sweden czechia etc but no we want to talk about #his birth places because getting the same answer of ‘it’s cool but I don’t really feel connected to the place’ is so much more interesting #then asking him how playing hockey in japan shaped jordan and how he probably has a lot of cool story’s and insights #BUT PEOPLE JUST DONT WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT #I’m sorry there has been one to many manley australia mentions #let the man talk about something different please #.txt
