During the lockout Al grabbed his bag and hit the road. While he had been in Canada now for nearly a year he had never been able to travel due to the intense schedule he had been on to improve his game play from Coach Balls. Free of the constraint, and aware that he had to keep his cell on in case the lock out ended, Al grabbed a ticket to Toronto, where he was convinced he'd meet a Canadian beauty. Turned out however, that being a SMJHL player was not exactly the selling line he had thought it would be when he got to Toronto. A few women even scoffed at him and told him to let them know when he got his training skates off. Depressed and alone in Toronto Al got drunk one night and threw a bottle through a mirror. When he sobered up the next day in a holding cell for drunks, he vowed to show Toronto what he had one day. Stupid city.
