There are numerous examples of the sons of Star players who for whatever reasons simply dont follow in their fathers footsteps, others who not only follow in them but surpass their Dads exploits. he went the NCAA route thereafter at the University of Minnesota at Duluth & it was while playing there (according to his biography & interviews) that he began taking hockey seriously, deciding to get in shape, pursue an NHL career.
He then went on to play Tier II Provincial Jr.A in BC,passed over again in the 83 Draft however the following year he did draw a lot of attention in putting up some big numbers, enough to eventually be picked by the Calgary Flames in the 6th Round in 84. Well, he was a bit of a tearaway as a teenager, overweight, undisciplined, was playing Juvenile hockey in 82 when he was first eligible for the Draft & passed over altogether. When the kids playing, like he's got a target on his back at times. Famous last name will only get you so far & indeed for many, its more a curse than a blessing.
