Girl, 9, had run of NHL draft BY MICHAEL HAYAKAWA 13, Stouffville Sun-Tribune n www.yorkregion.com n Thursday, June 28, 2012 mhayakawa@yrmg.com Olivia Pridham made a trip to Pittsburgh, Pa. and the National Hockey League's annual entry draft last weekend. While at the Consol Energy Center, home of the Pittsburgh Penguins, the nine-yearold Stouffville resident wasn't there just to sit in the stands and watch the proceedings. Rather, she was right in the nerve centre of action, on the arena floor. A Grade 3 student at Summitview Public School, Olivia served as a runner for the Colorado Avalanche during the two-day event. Her presence stemmed largely through her father Brandon, who has been employed by the NHL over the last 13 years and serves as senior director, central registry and senior advisor, central scouting. "It was so much fun," she said. Among her duties was to carry out team errands, including the gathering of printouts on draft picks and or trade information from a copier, and to ensure the Avalanche table was well organized and club management attendance was taken care of. "I loved being involved with everything going on and meeting and working with the Avalanche management team. They were so nice to me," she said. Olivia hopes to work again at next year's draft in Newark, N.J.
