Seattle Kraken's emerging talent, Matty Beniers, recently shared a heartfelt story about the meaning behind his jersey number, 10. In an honest interview, the young star opened up about the personal connection that makes this number so special.
When asked about his choice of number 10, Beniers revealed a touching tribute to his father's influence on his hockey journey. He explained,
"My dad wore the number 10 when he was young and growing up playing hockey, so that's how I chose number 10. I looked up to him when I was younger, and then I wore number 10 my whole life, basically."
For Beniers, wearing the number 10 isn't just a random selection; it carries a profound significance, symbolizing the bond he shares with his father and the inspiration he drew from him during his early years. It's a reminder that, even in the fast-paced world of professional sports, personal connections and cherished memories continue to hold great importance.
