When Vent took his first step onto the ice, he fell flat on his face. It took Vent a very long time to be able to feel comfortable to just stand on his own and be able to skate around. Starting hockey was even more difficult. Vent had no idea how the sport was played since his father played soccer growing up and his mother played basketball. He had the athletic ability in him and just needed to be brought out through hard work and coaching. After a while, it was obvious Vent landed towards being a defenseman. The young boy had no trouble standing in front of shots and getting hit. His offensive capability was very limited but he began to flourish as a defenseman at a young age. Vent's coaches noticed Vent liked to be physical for his age and was one of the biggest kids around. He wasn't afaird of contact and actually welcomed it whenever he could. He had the competitive spirit in him they just had to work on having Vent not take careless penalties all the time. Hockey wasn't the only sport Vent was playing at a young age. He loved to go outside with his friends and play football whenever he could and loved the physical contact of the sport.
