People may not have seen Patey that much during training camp, why you ask? During the middle of training camp, Patey flew all the way back home east to visit family and friends after signing his rookie contract and getting that money in the bank. After spending all night out with the boys playing DnD, he ended up missing his middle of the night flight back to the hotel to get back to the rink in the morning. Now, the logical thing for Patey would have been to get another flight in the morning and just take the one missed day of training camp and suffer whatever coach had for him. Instead he decided to find the nearest mounty and got him to ride all the way down to Lethbridge which ended up being a week long trip after having to give this mounty a ton of money for this trip. Once he returned from a normal Canadian trip, most of the rookies and teammates ended up getting to shoot pucks at him while he put the goalie gear on for all of the time he missed.
