Hey there, hockey fans! 🏒 Have you heard about Andong Song? He’s making history as the first Chinese-born player to be drafted into the NHL!
Winter sports are becoming super popular in the Chinese mainland. Since the 2022 Winter Olympic Games in Beijing, more than 300 million people have taken up winter sports like skiing, snowboarding, and ice hockey! ⛸️🎿
Andong was born in Beijing but moved to Canada when he was 10 years old. There, he fell in love with ice hockey and worked really hard to improve his skills. In 2015, his dreams came true when he was drafted by the New York Islanders! 🏒🥅
He hopes to inspire more kids in the Chinese mainland to pick up a hockey stick and hit the ice. Who knows? Maybe one day, you’ll be the next hockey star! ⭐
Isn’t it cool how sports can bring people together from all over the world? 🌍 Let’s cheer on Andong and all the young athletes chasing their dreams! 🎉
