Stankoven signs record-setting NHL deal, aims to reward parents
KAMLOOPS — Logan Stankoven plans to repay parents Wes and Deana for investing in him after signing a life-changing contract extension with the Carolina Hurricanes earlier this week.
“The money they’ve spent on me and the time they’ve taken out of their lives to help me reach my goals … now it’s going to be me giving back to them and helping them out in any way possible,” Stankoven said.
Stankoven, 22, signed an eight-year, US $48-million contract, with an average annual value of US $6-million – the richest NHL deal ever signed by a born-and-bred Kamloopsian.
