## Resource

Simas Ignatavicius, the towering Lithuanian forward born in Memphis, is skyrocketing through the hockey world—projected as a late first-round NHL draft pick and possibly the first ever chosen by the Calgary Flames. Standing six-foot-three, he’s a Swiss League standout with elite defensive grit, a lethal shot, and the rare ability to dominate with or without the puck. His journey began unexpectedly—pizza night with his dad led to a hockey discovery—and now he’s a National League rookie of the year and key Lithuanian World Junior leader. With top-tier size, relentless forechecking, and a right-handed shot, Ignatavicius could be the perfect energy boost for any team—especially Calgary’s special teams.
