Gridin’s All-Star Breakout: AHL’s Rising Star Shakes Up the Olympic Pause
Competing alongside some of the league’s top talent was an experience he didn’t take for granted.
“They’re the best players on their team,” Gridin told the Wranglers media postgame. “It’s nice to play with the skilled guys.”
Gridin picked up two assists in his first game, with his All-Star nod capping off what has been a steady upward climb in his first full professional campaign. His progress hasn’t been limited to the AHL, either.
