On Patrick O’Sullivan

You’re in Oil Country

Before we (the royal, editorial ‘we’) had learned of the ‘two sided’ deal involving the Kings, the Hurricans, and the Oilers today, many pundits made much ado about how Patrick O’Sullivan would be playing in the Carolinas. This was significant because he is the only North Carolinian born player in the league, and everybody loves a hometown boy to cheer.

Except, his dad is a jerk. It’s sad really, and I don’t mean to make light of the situation. It is probably for the best that he is now in Oil Country. Here is an excellent story by Gare Joyce of ESPN The Magazine:

Patrick O’Sullivan always looks for his father in the stands. He’s done it since he was a 2-year-old skating in Winston-Salem, N.C. He still caught himself doing it this season when, at age 18, he was the leading scorer for the Mississauga IceDogs of the Ontario junior league. And at the NHL draft in Nashville, before he even takes a seat, O’Sullivan will look around the arena, searching for his father.

But this isn’t Jim Craig trying to find his father after the Miracle on Ice in Lake Placid. On draft day, Patrick O’Sullivan won’t be the only one looking for John O’Sullivan. So will Patrick’s mother, Cathie, and an ready-for-action team from NHL security.

“I hope he won’t be there,” Patrick says, sounding more weary than angry.
