Since Will Smith became a world-conquering celebrity in the 1990s, several Will Smiths have graced the world of sports. Defensive end Will Smith made the Pro Bowl with the Saints in 2006. Pitcher Will Smith reached the MLB All-Star Game in 2019 with the Giants, and catcher Will Smith won the World Series with the Dodgers in 2020.
Wednesday evening, another Will Smith joined the party.
The Sharks selected USA Hockey National Team Development Program and incoming Boston College center Will Smith with the No. 4 pick in the NHL draft in Nashville. Appropriately enough, the league played “Yo Home to Bel-Air,” the theme from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, as Smith made his way to the stage at Bridgestone Arena.
