🇰🇾 From learning to skate on Cayman’s iceless roller rink to being selected in the first round of the NHL draft, Jaxon Cover has completely redefined the boundaries of our sports history.
The Cayman Islands Government proudly congratulates Jaxon on this monumental milestone, making history as the first Caymanian ever drafted into the National Hockey League.

We are immensely proud of him and know that his success will inspire a new generation of Caymanian athletes to pursue excellence, no matter where their dreams may lead.”
