Josh Ho-Sang is dabbling in another career path, while he attempts to battle his way back onto the ice. On Tuesday, Ho-Sang, a 2014 New York Islanders first-round pick, released an 18-track rap album titled "SAME," which includes a song called "Papi for MVP" that is about Toronto Maple Leafs star Auston Matthews.

Ho-Sang also announced the launch of an app called "PUP Sports," which is a service that allows people to find hockey practices and pick-up games. In addition, coaches are able to utilize the app to reach the game, and users can obtain cash rewards for using "PUP Sports."

According to Sportsnet's Jeff Marek, Ho-Sang is attempting a comeback and is expected to sign with the ECHL's Florida Everblades. The Everblades are currently aiming to win their third consecutive Kelly Cup.
