Player Name: Yoshimitsu McCloud

1. Early Life:
Yoshimitsu McCloud was born at Trim, County Meath but most of his youth is shrouded in mystery. It is known that Yoshimitsu is one of fifteen children of a couple of runaway ninjas out of Japan, who relocated to Ireland in the early 90s over a confrontation (which includes the alleged murder of seven) during an incident at an idol concert. His parents settled at the forests near Trim, only visiting the town to obtain resources and briefly take part in an alleged underground tournament, the results of which caused the town to be the epitome of peaceful but also pretty much empty. Yoshimitsu was taught in the arts of ninjitsu by his parents, who claimed that they believed they should teach their children how to live in the forests, without the need to deal with the regular folk from Trim; although they eventually went back on that and sent them to study at a regular school.

Yoshimitsu became enamoured with the sport of ice hockey after playing a hockey game in what people believe was a PlayStation and thus, started to train on his own to one day, become a professional hockey player.

2. Playing Career:
Due to the nature of his approach to the sport, Yoshimitsu McCloud was not available for the Season 45 Draft, being instead signed as a Free Agent by the Anaheim Outlaws. Reportedly, McCloud sent his letter of intent to take part on any sort of draft to the Outlaws, instead of the actual league's head office, explaining how they managed to sign him pretty easily. Yoshimitsu's career makes an awful lot of sense when one considers his origin to the sport, for he's not known as a scorer, nor an assister, but rather a player of presence, often taking charge at opponents when not going to fights with them.

At the end of the season, Yoshimitsu McCloud joined the draft pool for the SHL's Season 46 Draft, where he was taken by the San Francisco Pride with the pick number 65, but he has yet to play for the SHL team. Currently, Yoshimitsu McCloud is the Anaheim Outlaws' first Alternate Captain. Despite his rather lack of skill in the sport, he has been referred to as a "locker room asset", hence explaining his status at the team.

3. International Play:
Due to Ireland's stocked status regarding players and McCloud's status at the moment, Yoshimitsu McCloud has never been considered to play for Ireland, his home nation; although there was also no attempts by the Japanese national hockey federation to bring him in despite his parents' country of origin. McCloud was, however, picked to represent the British Isles on the World Juniors Championship where he floated between both the third and fourth lines of the British Isles' team.

Weirdly enough, McCloud usually notes that he doesn't have much recollection of the World Juniors Championship, although he does recall making the trips to those games and enjoying the sights, often bringing with him his usual ninja training sessions. Doesn't help that McCloud has never contributed massively to any of the games he played at that level and he might possibly have problems with playing together with the British.

4. Personal Life:
Yoshimitsu McCloud is one of fifteen children, all sired by unknown parents that apparently follow his every track as per ninja tradition. Yoshimitsu takes high pride on his lineage and has never played a single hockey game without the use of a large helmet, as, according to ninja code, a ninja should always keep their face at least partially hidden, unless near loved ones or fellow ninja. Reportedly, he has a grand total of ten helmets that fully cover his face, plus an additional eleventh helmet that he used in a friendly soccer game for the Outlungus Foundation, a charity establishment created by an Outlaws' fan and for a media guide for the same event, where that was accompanied with a penguin suit. McCloud has also been often seen helping out those in need, regardless of the level of the need, ranging from picking up pets on top of trees to taking a couple to a hospital for a baby delivering.

5. Honours, awards and achievements:
Since McCloud's career is rather lacklustre, he doesn't have any honours, although he has been awarded alternate captainship of the Anaheim Outlaws recently. At the time, he believed he was actually awarded the letter A but was eventually explained as to what he was actually being awarded, something that he was very proud of. Whenever he's asked about his lack of accomplishments, McCloud likes to note that his dream has been achieved, for he's playing ice hockey for a living and now, he just wants to learn about his teammates and their stories, something he'll hope to keep a hold of and cherish once he tells those to his children and grandchildren. Well, once he figures out how those are made because Yoshimitsu McCloud is as naive as a child, you see, something that has often followed him, causing a lot of confusion and amusement to teammates.

6. Controversy:
Surprisingly for a kind of class that would be aligned to shadier practices, Yoshimitsu McCloud is controversy-free. Most believe that this is due to McCloud's naivete, a legitimate love for the game and just an overall good nature that he and his relatives have displayed, at least the ones that have been seen by people. He did, once, deliver a statement where he announced he'd score 1000 goals, but that was less showboating and more of McCloud failing to fully understand what such an accomplishment is supposed to mean. Despite this, there was once the belief that he'd try to obtain some sort of revenge against Halifax for eliminating the Outlaws in their first ever playoffs, but he was eventually calmed down by his teammates. When asked on how that happened, Yoshimitsu shrugged it off, stating "Seger called it off, really weird. You'd think a guy from Switzerland would have the funds for that sort of stuff, but apparently not".
