Just how modest are two of the best-known NHL hockey stars from Saskatchewan?
When Jarret Stoll and Jordan Eberle were asked to draft their own fantasy team of Saskatchewan all-stars, using CBC's new Make-Your-Own-Team widget, neither picked himself.
Eberle, a right winger with the Edmonton Oilers who's from Regina, said he gave it a lot of thought, before coming up with his three forwards, two defencemen and a goalie.
"I would just go with the best players," he said. "There's a lot of talent and there's a lot of guys to pick [from]."
Los Angeles Kings centre Stoll, who was born in Melville, said he considered adding himself, but decided against it.
"Myself ... maybe I was close to putting it on my own list but I'll stay away from that," he said. "There's so many good players."
The feature that launched on the weekend lets people create a team from 39 players who hail from Saskatchewan.
