Rintarou Okabe grew up in Japan as a self entitled 'mad scientist'. When he was 19 he noticed the game of hockey being played on an illegal streaming website where he was looking for UEFA streams. He decided to sit and watch the game for its entirety then quickly scoured the internet for more games of this mysterious sport named hockey. He found countless videos of this sport where he then watched every game, video and tutorial on how to become the greatest hockey player of all time. He credits a lot of his success to the former NHL great Yvan Cournoyer. When he finished watching every game and video he possibly could he had aged to be a 84 year old, way to old to even attempt to join any league. However since Okabe had the first ever time machine he could bounce back 2 days at a time. He eventually found himself at the age of 8 years old, with the knowledge of hockey that even most professional players did not have. He quickly saved his allowance money and bought a stick and equipment and joined the only ice hockey team in Japan at the time. There is where he finally found himself skating like a 26 year old prime professional onside of a bunch of kids who had no idea what they were doing.
That is the very 'first' time Okabe played and he has been playing it since.
