For a player whose rise to the NHL came relatively quickly, Teddy Purcell spent a lot of time
For a player whose rise to the NHL came relatively quickly, Teddy Purcell spent a lot of time sitting in an airport waiting for that moment to actually arrive.
The 22-year-old right winger from Newfoundland had just a half-season of American League experience with the Manchester Monarchs before the parent Los Angeles Kings summoned him to Edmonton Jan. 14th while the Monarchs were stationed in Chicago.
A 12-hour airport wait in Chicago - followed by weather delays - finally landed Purcell, along with Monarchs teammate Peter Harrold, in Edmonton just hours before his first NHL morning skate and subsequent NHL debut that night at Rexall Place.
