Max Poulin has two home towns: the one where he was born and the one where his parents raised him. St. Petersburg has had an incredible influence on Max these last few months as the debate rages on about the state of his citizenship. The move to Kelowna was, at least, a little less intimating than traveling to Colorado with the mounds of paperwork that explained his legal status as a Russian citizen.

If Max ever had to hear the Soviet National Anthem again and fumble over Russian to prove that he was Quebecois through and through, he was going to lose it.

Montreal, however, that was home. It was home because he remembers his parents bringing him to the public rinks and teaching him how to skate. He loves it because of every teacher's damn insistence that his name is Maxime Poulin rather than Maxim Poulin-Cleary since that is all harsh letters and not flowing French. He loves how the city was appalled with the idea that one of it's young talents had to deal withe the legal paperwork of proving that he is of La Belle Province.

Kelowna is thousands and thousands of miles away from all of that but Max is excited to find himself outside of all the drama. Max Poulin, 8th Overall, decent baker is ready to find out what kind of Knight he is going to be.
