Like his teammates on the South Shore Kings of the NCDC, Chikara Hanzawa grew up playing hockey.

The difference is that Hanzawa — known to his coaches and teammates as Chiky — did it on the other side of the globe, in Shimizu, Japan.

“When we were kids, everyone played hockey,’’ said the 19-year-old right winger, adding that outdoor rinks are plentiful in his home city in the winter.
