NHL star Bo Horvat was traded from the Vancouver Canucks to the New York Islanders this Monday, January, 30. The Islanders made the deal quickly because they believe Horvat will lead them to the Stanley Cup Playoffs.  The ice-hockey center welcomed the transformations and is looking forward to making his second appearance in the all-star game. However, things may have moved too quickly for the former Canucks captain.

The NHL star misses his former team

Bo Horvat appeared as a guest on NHL Tonight. The interview was uploaded to the Glovey McGlovin channel on YouTube. Horvat described the steps he took to qualify for the all-star game for a second time and how he is looking forward to the challenges that lie ahead, with great enthusiasm. Despite joining a new club, he still cherishes his time spent with his former teammates on the Canucks.

When asked how he felt about donning a new jersey, Horvat says, “I’m not gonna lie. Hasn’t fully sunk in yet but I think it looks good on me. I couldn’t be more thrilled and excited to be the part of the New York Islanders.”
