Energetic Evander-Being prayed for by Elli



How many 18 year-olds can say that they play for the Thrashers? Not many but 18 year old Canadian Evander Kane can. Evander was one of the draft picks this year. This 6 foot 2 190 pound baby left winger was born on August 2, 1991 (I know I feel old too) in Vancouver British Columbia. This little punk kid came straight out of high school. During his high school career (or atleast the last 3 years of it) Evander scored 81 goals and had 75 assists!! Evander is amazing, so far the little booger has scored 3 goals and has 3 assists!!I know very little about this sweet little boy. What I do know is that Evander was named after boxing legend Evander Holyfield. His dad is a fan of Holyfield's and his mom just liked the name. So now he's the trasher's Evander Kane!! Kane got to meet Holyfield and Holyfield knows Kanes cousin through boxing, how crazy is that! Both Evanders seemed to get along well and like each other, even though there's a big age difference. I like this kid. He seems sweet and just in shock and awe over everything. If I was Evander I would probably be scared out of my mind!!! He is handeling everything so well. Bogi and Boris have taken the baby under their wings. There's even a cute picture of Evander and Boris at the season opener. It looks like Evander was scared and nervous and Boris was telling him it would be ok. The funniest thing is that 19 year old Bogi calls 18 year old Evander a kid!! Oh don't worry Bogi got a weird look for that one!! Boys are so funny!! Anyway good luck Evander! You'll be fine kid!!
