Being one of the new draft picks of New England I had three big brothers to spend time with recently. First off I spent time with Gordie Boomhover @gordieboom, he made me drive the long way to the training rink which being in Boston means we get stuck in quite a lot of traffic. It wasn't bad though Gordie would chat with me the entire ride there and told me a lot about what it takes to be a true pro in the SHL. I'm very grateful for all the time he took out of his day to take me under his wing. Next week was Eko Van Otter @hotdog and he took me to places that people to Boston would never know to check out. One day at around 11 AM he threw me into a strip club and I swear I've never ran out of a place so fast in my life. I'm not quite sure what lesson he was trying to teach me but all in all it was a pretty awesome week and Eko is a pretty cool guy to grab a beer and some ice cream with. The last person I spent time with was defenseman Ensio Kalju @jRuutu, Kalju's lesson was to make sure I'm always aware of my surroundings. One morning without warning he checked me while I had a hot cup of coffee in my hand, safe to say I was not very happy but he made up for it when he bought me an Irish coffee later in the day. One night I stayed over at his house and he changed my alarm and then screamed at me to get up and that we were late. A few minutes of scrambling later and he told me it was just a drill. While being with the Finnish Dman has made me a little paranoid I did really enjoy my time with my new comrade but I probably won't be asking to stay at his place any time soon. I'm eternally grateful to my big brothers for their time and wisdom. Hopefully I'll be able to repair their kindness when I make it up Wolfpack.
