--------------------Here are 5 interesting things Konecny shared during his interview:
1. His second cousin is Vancouver Canucks center Bo Horvat
2. His favorite player is Chicago Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews
3. He developed his grit and exceptional work habits from his family.
4. He got his first taste of Flyers fans last June when attending the 2014 NHL Draft in Philadelphia with his agent. "They seemed die-hard fans," he said. "I'm looking forward to it and playing that edgy game. Hopefully I can make a few hits and get the crowds going.''
5. He's been hearing for years that he's too small. "I used that as motivation and determination when I played," he said.
