Did you know that before Mikael Choybuk's days in the SHL, he used to wash dishes at a restaurant? Taking out the grease, cleaning floors, operating the dish pit.....these were things that Choybuk did on the regular. It is one of the reasons why Choybuk was so happy to become a Calgary Dragon, actually. He heard all the talk about chicken parmesans on the Dragons, and thought it would be the perfect fit for him. On his lunch breaks at the restaurant, the chefs would let him sneak into the kitchen and make his own chicken meals. Mikael was born to be a Dragon in that regard. One day, he actually really screwed up in the kitchen, and accidentally dumped all the grease from the deep fryer onto the floor. He almost got fired, but he put in the work to clean it all up. The chefs and rest of the staff gave him hell for it for a long time, and it's one of the reasons he is so disciplined and has such a good work ethic on in the SHL these days. He learned from those long, grimy days of washing dirty dishes. You might not think dish pits could help you in the SHL, but in fact, it did!
