"That's Jean-Pierre Gay"

"Really?"

"Yeah you can't miss him, he's huge"

It's not easy walking down a red carpet while towering over every other person taking photos and wearing their award show best. Jean-Pierre Gay was attending the SMJHL Awards for S45, which would be his final show in the SMJHL as he had gotten the call hours earlier that he would be playing for Hamilton in the upcoming season. He stepped out of a modest car that he drove himself into the parking lot, donning a Calvin Klein suit fitted to the nines. It was his Sunday best, and he was going to make an impression that showed "I'm ready for the big time award show next year"

He was not nominated for any awards, but JPG -- as he was known in the SMJHL -- showed up and made his presence known like he did on the ice. Doing many photoshoots and mingling about the crowd talking to the press, the occasional fan, and some owners. If hockey doesn't work out, being a socialite might for JPG.
