Keaton Verhoeff<\/a>, get selected ninth overall, a proud moment for the entire family.<\/p>\nDach’s cousin officially became a defensive prospect for the San Jose Sharks.<\/p>\n
Dach understands the pressure that comes with draft night, and he wanted to be there for his cousin. We love to see it!<\/p>\n
It’s also interesting to learn that Verhoeff is Dach’s cousin. That’s a true hockey family.<\/p>\n
But Dach wasn’t the only Canadiens player supporting the next generation.<\/p>\n
