Mazel Tov to Zeev Buium getting drafted #12 in the NHL Draft by the Minnesota Wild! The Wild moved up to draft him READ MORE HERE. Many believe Buium is the steal of the draft and will become a star in the NHL.

CBS Sports had this to say about him “[Buium] was the NCHC’s top rookie after a 50-point season with Denver — it was the first 50-pointer by a rookie NCAA defender since at least 2002-03. He earned Frozen Four all-tourney honors after helping lead Denver to the national title. At 18 years old, Buium has game-breaking skills thanks to his elusive skating, elite skills and high-end hockey smarts. He uses those skills in the D-zone to angle guys out and strip pucks, a bit like Morgan Rielly does in Toronto. Buium isn’t big, but that won’t hold him back. He’ll be a dynamic All-Star who will run the power play and wear an A while giving you loads of points. Buium and Brock Faber are going to be a formidable duo for 12-15 years.

Zeev will be the first NHL player with Israeli born parents!
