Sharks Rookie Stenberg on His Birthday: Parents Coming for His NHL Debut
San Jose Sharks rookie Stenberg spoke after practice on his birthday, the day before his first NHL game against the Florida Panthers. He called the coming rookie lap "a big dream" and said his mom and dad plan to be there, while his brothers stay home for their own hockey. He talked about the advice his family gave him (work hard, be humble, do the work), said Florida plays a bit more physically than most teams, and walked through a simple game day: morning skate, a nap and no superstitions.
