The instructor praised the hockey players for their thoughtfulness after Scheifele and Tanev heard his student was going to be late for her culinary exam because she couldn’t find a space to park her car.

The Jets players were heading in to a restaurant in the same area, but upon learning the student would be late, Tanev went to grab a seat at the restaurant while Scheifele moved the car so she could take the last spot in the lot and make her exam.
