710 ESPN Seattle: Thunderbirds Tyrel Bauer and Matthew Rempe picked back-to-back in NHL Draft

Draft day is what every young hockey player dreams about. Its what all the hard work and sacrifice points towards. It’s the dream of seeing your name on television next to the logo of an NHL team, indicating that you’ve been chosen.

For Thunderbirds forward Matthew Rempe, that day came Wednesday. He didn’t see it happen.

He was watching the Draft with his family in Calgary and when teammate Tyrel Bauer was selected by the Winnipeg Jets with pick number 164, Rempe celebrated with his family and didn’t notice his name on the screen moments later for the very next pick, this time by the New York Rangers.
