Reunion with childhood coach turned Brennan Othmann into Rangers’ pick
NY Post
When Brennan Othmann reunited with skating coach Lisa Clark three years ago at the age of 15, his confidence was dangerously low.
NHL scouts had significant concern surrounding his skating abilities and, as a result, Othmann was beginning to lose faith in himself. Othmann had fallen into bad skating habits, so his family suggested he get back to working with Clark, with whom he first started taking lessons when he was just 5 years old. It ended up being the decision that put Othmann’s hockey career back on track, and ultimately led to him getting drafted 16th overall by the Rangers in the first round of the 2021 NHL Entry Draft on Friday.
