Since the retirement of Elyk, Big Manius has been hanging out with the youngster Gary Grease. They bonded after night of drinking at the Peasant Cookery in the West Exchange District of Winnipeg. Where the two defensemen were shocked when they realized the they had so much common with each other. In fact they both love hockey, food and drinking beer upon learning this the doe proceeded to tell every in the bar about as they laughed and shouted about around the bar. Since then they have enjoyed eating crappy food in some of the big dives in Winnipeg while drinking themselves silly.
