2. An Iranian playing hockey in the NHL? Hey, no way!
You’ll be able to see just that this fall in the National Hockey League (NHL). Just tune in the Ottawa Senators. They are the team that drafted Mika Zibanejad last Thursday. To the surprise of everyone, he was the sixth person picked in the NHL draft. Many sports analysts thought he would be passed over this year since he is only 18 and drafted next year. And, okay, Zibanejad is only half-Iranian. His dad, Mehrdad, moved from Iran to Sweden after the revolution when he was 23 years old. His mother, Ritva, moved from Finland to Sweden after a divorce. They met and married and the result is Mika—who speaks Swedish, Finnish, Farsi, English and a smattering of French. But he speaks ice hockey best.
