The jounrey for michaud started at the age of 3, when he first attended a hockey game. Did he have any idea what was going on at all? Not a fucking clue, but he did like the colors and the guys moving fast on the ice... also the fights were exciting. This got him to ask his parents all the time for the possiblity that he could learn to skate, which his parents begrudgingly allowed him to do just to shut up the stupid kid, as any good parent would. This served him well as he is a good skater at the elite level. Starting skating that early he was quickly recruted to play for the local team, where he stood out even playing with kids above his age. This also served him well, as he was the youngest member on his team, and in hte challenge cup finals this last season where he saw large amounts of minutes on the ice for the Steelhawks.
