And they were roommates.

That’s because MacKinnon -- the odds-on favourite to go first overall in this summer’s draft -- is bunking in with the NHL’s top pick in 2011, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins.

“He doesn’t snore – he’s a good roommate,” reported the 17-year-old phenom from tiny Cole Harbour, N.S. who draws endless comparisons to Sidney Crosby.

“It’s definitely cool for me to be roommates with him. I don’t know if it’s a coincidence. Maybe it is.”

It’s not.

That they are roommates is not a coincidence, said Steve Spott, head coach of the national junior squad.

“Those are two young men who have unique experiences,” said Spott. “If there’s someone to lend advice to Nathan, then Ryan can be a good mentor to him.”

Turns out the mentorship has started and MacKinnon has been taking notes.

“I’m thankful to have him as my roommate,” MacKinnon said of Nugent-Hopkins. “He told me to play my game and keep it simple and hopefully things will work out.”

Good to know! Mackinnon has had so many mentors. I wonder if he keeps a list.

Now Ryan Nugent-Hopkins/Nathan MacKinnon is a pairing I could get behind.
