Shaquem Griffin, a football player with one hand, made his first NHL start with the Seattle Seahawks on September 9. Shaquem had his left hand amputated following complications from a rare birth defect. He impressed scouts at the combine in February by performing the bench press with a prosthetic on his left arm.
