Being from Latvia with some Italian background, having a brother on the same team as you and a young stud defenseman, Kaspars Claude has two things he does pretty often. The first thing he does is travel. Whether it is from city to city for some games or if is back and fourth to Europe to see family relatives, that Passport is being swiped pretty often. And the second thing is to party!! You mix those two together and what do you get? Some lengthy searches at the border and at the airport when it is time to declare what you have or do not have.

Unfortunately, Kaspars Claude has recently been involved in an episode of Border Patrol. As he was passing security in Miami for a "Weekend Getaway" he was met by a small fan. And that small fan was the member of the K9 unit. Barking away at some sort of substance that he had on him. He privately met with a border agent to make sure that no screaming fans would be there of the Vancouver Whalers or any paparazzi that would ruin his reputation. All was going good until the security agent found Kaspars secret compartment in that super expensive Louis Vuitton travel bag. Opening it, the agent thought he would find some illegal party drug that would end the career of the young defenseman but what he found was worse. Empty syringes. Now, what comes to mind is some meth that would be used by Kaspars Claude but he def does not do that. They swabbed the syringes and swabbed all of Kaspars clothes and objects and found no traces of any recreational drug. What the border patrol agent did find was a brand new Richard Mille watch. Kaspars does have a pretty big contract and if you added everything all together. he was easily passing the maximum allowed limit of goods and would need to pay duty on it. He left there with an emptier wallet and a bill, which was paid all in 100 dollar bills in an elastic band of course. Baller style, and Whaler style.
