LOS ANGELES (AP) — Simon Wang was proud to become the highest-drafted player born in China when the San Jose Sharks selected him Saturday with the first pick of the second round of the NHL draft.

Captain of the Tampa Bay Lightning, Victor Hedman is a defenseman who brings a bit of age and experience (34-years-old) to the roster after being a No. 2 overall pick back in 2009.
