just wanted to share some stuff i’ve seen about the canucks’ newest signing Arshdeep Bains:
[image description: tweet from Vancouver Canucks: “Welcome to Vancouver, Arshdeep”. tweet includes a photo showing Arshdeep Bains signing a contract and with a Canucks baseball cap on the table. end description]
[image description: tweet from Rob Williams: New #Canucks prospect Arshdeep Bains on being a role model for the South Asian community (from @IamDanielChai’s story in Feb): “I never really had too many hockey role models to look up to growing up, so if I can help South Asian kids get into the sport, that’s special to me.” end description.]
[image description: tweet from Cam Robinson: Hey that’s fun. Bains is a great story. Walk-on kid in Red Deer, worked his way up the lineup, and was good in the bubble. Then pops offensively in 20-year old season and gets the contract from the hometown team. Slight and skilled but he’s got some jam to his game too. end description.]
fans have also noted that most of his social media activity has been around charities & community involvement (specifically blood donations). i’ve also seen a few fun clips of him being very creative and play-driving, including spinoramas, around-the-net & backdoor puck movement, and sneaky takeaways. hoping he tears it up in abby and we get to see him up in van eventually
