A five-year professional with shutdown defensive skills, it's easy to forget that Sean Couturier's still a kid. His latest accomplishment won't do much to alter the common assumption otherwise.
Couturier, 23, cemented luminary status in his hometown of Bathurst, New Brunswick over the weekend, as he was presented with a street sign that bears his name.

"It's special, it's a great honor," Couturier said, according to CBC's Shane Ross. "It's not something you dream of growing up, but if you can be an example for other young kids and remind them even coming from a small town like Bathurst, anything is possible if you make the sacrifices and believe in what you can do."
Sean Couturier Avenue leads to the rink where the Philadelphia Flyers center played his minor hockey as a member of the Bathurst Titan - no more than a decade ago.
