My family has known the Abdelkader's for many moons. I grew up through same hockey system although I was too many years older and didn't get to play with him. I am extremely happy for him and his family. Also... How about a little shot of pride for Muskegon!
I have seen him play many times at the high school level. The above description is accurate. He has what you want in a winger, a commitment to both ends of the ice, a quick release, and a knack for finishing.
