Description

The Winnipeg Jets made history with their seventh-round pick, selecting 18-year-old defenceman Noa Ta’Amu—the first player of Samoan heritage ever drafted into the NHL. Chosen with the seventh pick of the seventh round, Ta’Amu brings raw talent, physicality, and a hard-nosed style that scouts love. Coming from a family steeped in athletics—his father was a Vikings draft pick, his grandfather predicted his hockey future—he’s now training with the Jets, fueled by gratitude and determination to prove his potential and make his family proud.
