Canes’ Slavin ‘walks the walk’ as man of faith in NHL. frank_seravalli has MORE:
“Most people think, ‘Oh, you’re the hockey player. She creeped you or she stalked you, right?’ But no,” Slavin says. “It was a total God thing.”
Slavin convinced Kylie to meet after sending her a Snapchat with a video of him singing Taylor Swift’s “Stay Stay Stay.”History is His Story, the Bible says – and Slavin’s story is very much his own in today’s NHL. Slavin is unapologetically himself. The bigger the stage, the bigger the platform to share his message – but it’s been that way since Slavin first got to the NHL, not new since the Canes have become relevant again. This isn’t attention-seeking.
Wesley, now 50, has known Slavin since the Hurricanes drafted him in the fourth round in 2012. Up until last year, Wesley was Carolina’s director of development for defencemen, the man responsible for helping nurture Slavin through the ranks. He left the organization last year after new owner Tom Dundon took over and was hired immediately by the St. Louis Blues.
Wesley has a special bond with Slavin. Wesley says he “became a believer” himself while playing for Hartford in the 1990s. On his day with Stanley in 2006, Wesley took the Cup to church. He knows what it’s like to be Slavin, to have teammates look at him sideways in a generally unreligious sport.
