Item Description
Gostisbehere's background would seem to suggest he was unlikely to become an NHL player. The son of a former professional jai alai player from France, he was born in Pembroke Pines, Fla., on April 20, 1993, six months before his hometown Florida Panthers began play in the League.
From an early age, though, the player his teammates call "Ghost" was always around a hockey rink, tagging along when his older sister had figure skating lessons.
Before long, Gostisbehere decided to try the ice out for himself, learning how to skate at the Incredible Ice facility where the Panthers practiced in Coral Springs and joining the Junior Panthers youth hockey program.
Gostisbehere played hockey at Union College and was selected by the Philadelphia Flyers in the third round (No. 78) in the 2012 NHL Draft. He is considered the first player born and raised in South Florida to make it to the NHL.
He's quite a good one, too. In 2015-16 he finished second in balloting for the Calder Trophy, awarded to the NHL's top rookie, after he led Flyers defensemen and ranked 17th in the NHL at the position with 46 points (17 goals). He also was selected to the 2016 NHL All-Star Game.
