LAS VEGAS — Macklin Celebrini insisted he had to suit up in all of his brand-new hockey gear. It was the youngster's first skating lesson — not even a game. His passion for the sport was there in plain sight for parents Rick and Robyn to see.

It was the youngster's first skating lesson — not even a game.Celebrini pushed himself from that moment onward. All the work led him to Sin City's searing heat and the NHL draft.

The Vancouver product is coming off a season where he collected 32 goals and 64 points in 38 games to become the youngest winner of the Hobey Baker Award as the top player in U.S. college hockey. He spent one season playing up a year with the San Jose Jr. Sharks youth program before continuing his budding career in Minnesota at Shattuck-St. Mary's School, whose former student-athletes include Sidney Crosby.

The Columbus Blue Jackets took centre Cayden Lindstrom with the fourth pick and the Montreal Canadiens went with winger Ivan Demidov at No. 5. "He had a pretty good career," Tij Iginla said with a smile."I'll have to start trying to build my resume. But yes, it's nice."
