Some say Tommy Tuck was destined to be drafted high in the SMJHL draft. Others thing that #3 was too high, but all in all, sports runs in the family. From his brother Tor Tuck, playing in the SHL, to his other two brothers Jayce and Jaxon in the NSFL, the Tuck Family Tree is everywhere. Tor and Tommy were raised in Norway, in Oslo learning the ropes of hockey. They played on the same minor league team that their family could afford and that pushed them to great lengths. Tommy didn’t hit the ice skating quite as quickly as Tor did, but he got his calling in net. Tor was the biggest reason Tommy even put his name out there for the SMJHL anyways, He didn’t know if he had what it takes to be a goalkeeper in the big leagues, but Tor was always there pushing him along. Once he saw that Tor could make it, Tommy realized that he needed to push himself to get to the same level. Tommy wasted no time, and was back and forth meeting up with Tor throughout the season to work on his game to get drafted. Thursday came and went, and now Tommy will be headed to Prince George to play Hockey, and will continue to hone his skills until the day his name gets called to the SHL.
