Joshua Ho-Sang, Canadian ice hockey player

Joshua Ho-Sang (born January 22, 1996) is a Canadian professional ice hockey forward currently playing for the Toronto Marlies of the American Hockey League (AHL). He was selected by the New York Islanders in the first round, 28th overall, in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft.

The Toronto Sun described him in June 2014 as a "singular hockey player of immense talent, caught on an island of discourse." He said of himself: "I'm more emotional than most people. That poses a problem for the hockey world. A lot of players are trained to hold their emotions.... I love to dangle. I love to lose. I love to play an offensive game. I love to celebrate when I score."
