Henri Jokiharju has a lot to look forward to in the near and distant future, but his most recent milestones are worth recognition as well.
Being selected 29th overall in 2017 by the Chicago Blackhawks was special. Signing his first NHL contract last week was another big moment.
"It's an unbelievable feeling for me," Jokiharju told Blackhawks TV. "Last year my dream came true. I got drafted by the Chicago Blackhawks. In 2010 I started to be a Blackhawks fan so it's unbelievable for me. I'm really happy to sign the contract."
