History in the Making | Jordan Harris

Under a bright blue sky, defenseman Jordan Harris put his offseason workouts on a brief hold to answer fans questions on this episode of History in the Making. The 22-year-old turned back the clock to chat about his experience at the 2018 NHL Draft and reflected on his involvement in the community in his first full season in the NHL. The jovial rearguard also spoke about his summer pastimes, his pregame superstitions and even dished on teammate Kirby Dach’s warmup ritual which is… let’s just say, interesting.
