Goku Muerto was born in Iceland, which is not known as a hockey hotbed. However, his oldest cousin, Riko, broke the SHL barrier when he became a professional player with the Edmonton Blizzard in S15. Goku's admiration for his cousin got him interested in hockey himself, and he began playing for fun at a very young age. Goku had some obvious talent, but Iceland does not have much for organized leagues, so he decided to leave for Norway, where Riko played IIHF hockey, to join the U16 league there. Goku was more than able to compete with the Norwegian players, becoming the top scorer for his squad, even though they were unable to advance past the semi-finals. With proper coaching and structure, Goku was able to elevate his skills until he, too, was ready to declare for the SMJHL Draft of S42. His younger brother Vegeta also followed him to the SHL, so the Muerto family is definitely the premier hockey dynasty of Iceland!
