I was in the same classes as Jay in junior high. We also were classmates with Ryan Stone, who was drafted by Pittsburgh in the 2nd round of the 2003 draft. Growing up, Ryan was always the one getting attention for making the NHL, no one ever talked about Jay. Ryan was 6’1 in grade 9, while Jay was 5’4. Ryan also got drafted into the WHL and was going to be playing for the Wheat Kings, Jay didn’t get drafted into the WHL or NHL. At the time, never would have thought Jay would be the one who would carve out a career in the NHL, or end up being the taller one at 6’3. Would be a great personal accomplishment for him to win a Stanley cup, will be hoping the caps can win game 6.
