Dylan Larkin told the Detroit Free Press that he and his parents were ecstatic to learn he'd made the Detroit Red Wings to start the season.
"It's been really exciting," Larkin said. "I got to call my mom and dad, and it was a good phone call to make. They were ecstatic, and I felt the same.
"Just to be a Detroit Red Wing is the best thing that's ever happened to me."
