Artemi Panarin’s rags to riches journey is what great stories are made of. Overcoming the odds is well chronicled in this amazing story by Aaron Portzline which I suggest reading. After signing his lucrative deal with the Rangers on July 1st, Panarin has been enjoying vacations in Italy but is now back home in Russia.
In a touching Instagram post, Artemi visited his grandparents and gave them a heartwarming thank you for all they’ve done for him.
The Rangers picked up on the moment and tweeted this out for all their fans to see.
