“Training with this guy is awesome!” Sze wrote. “Thank you Nathan Walker, the first Aussie ice hockey player to play for the St. Louis Blues of NHL. Salute!”

After Sze shared the photo on his Instagram stories, Walker reposted it on his Instagram stories, as well.

Walker played 56 regular season NHL games for the Blues last season and tallied two goals and 8 assists for 10 points.
