THUNDER BAY – If and when Nick DeGrazia’s name gets called at this weekend’s National Hockey League Draft, there’s a good chance he’ll be standing over a putt, not staring at his phone.
The18-year-old Thunder Bay product, ranked 85th among North American skaters by the NHL’s Central Scouting Bureau, is spending Saturday at Centennial Golf Course, playing in a tournament with his father.
