Of all the people who did not expect Beckett Sennecke to get selected No. 3 overall in the Friday night’s NHL Draft, the it’s fair to say Sennecke was at the the top of the list.
The Anaheim Ducks kicked off the chaos early in Las Vegas as they made the 18-year-old from Toronto one of the top picks. It’s not that Sennecke doesn’t have a ton of upside — he sure does — it’s that he was ranked the 13th-best North American skater in the draft by NHL Central Scouting.
That’s helps explain why Sennecke looked so absolutely stunned to hear his name called as the joy began to wash over the faces of him and his family.

Sennecke appears to stand up and mouth “Oh my god….what the [expletive]” as he starts to hug his parents.
There is nothing cooler than seeing someone’s dream come true and hockey fans will remember Sennecke’s moment for quite some time. Here’s hoping he brings all that enthusiasm with him Anaheim.
