eko van otter grew up either as a river otter or as just a regular guy, and i'm not really sure which is true (i don't really care which is true) so uhhh either he grew up as an otter who never really played hockey as a child because he was an otter and otters don't know how to play hockey so he would've had nowhere to learn it from nor play it with, or he grew up as a regular human child and did the typical route of playing some hockey as a child and he had a natural skill for the game since I think at one point I said his father was a pro hockey player in the Netherlands and Norway so if this is the case then EVO grew up with hockey in the household 24/7 and he was dangling and shit from a young age and emerged pretty early as a clear future star taking after his old man.
