DevilMinder Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 http://www.tsn.ca/the-unlikely-emergence-of-yohann-auvitu-1.594766 Most hockey players grow up dreaming of the NHL. New Jersey Devils defenceman Yohann Auvitu never wasted any time thinking about that — it seemed too unrealistic for a boy from the outskirts of Paris, France. As recently as six months ago, Auvitu didn’t even follow the NHL. “I wasn’t watching a single game here,” Auvitu said. “Of course, I knew who the big stars were, but I never watched.” Instead, Auvitu (pronounced oh-vee-too) earned a bachelor’s degree in international business while he climbed the hockey ranks in Finland, from junior to second tier to the Finnish Elite League.
