Before Banananak made it to the big time, first with Lethbridge, he used to work in his fathers farm in the Czech Republic. At first it was just collecting and washing the bananas but once he was old enough to reach the heavy machinery his dad basically used him as free labor to properly harvest the bananas. He worked long hours before making it big as a hockey player and because of the amount of work he had to do his arms got big and strong to where he could shoot bullets on a regular basis. He was so strong in the arms that some people wondered if he was taking steroids. Was he? Of course not. But that is what made him the player he is today and he intends on going right back to the farm once his career reaches his end, whenever that is. Either way, he hopes that he can use the salary he makes from his pro career to help the farm out, since it has fallen on bad times with him leaving.
