Tor Tuck has been playing in the league too long to have a huge memory of what his early childhood was like as he picked up the sport. After half of the games Tor Tuck takes several blows to the head and he wakes up hardly able to remember those games themselves. These reoccurring concussions paired with his advanced age are a sad cost of the sport that Tor Tuck and his colleagues love. However, Tor Tuck is confident that he was not a natural born talent on the ice. Coming up through the ranks he spent a lot of time just being a role player that was good enough to make a roster but not enough to really do a lot more to carry the team. His childhood home is not decorated with trophies and medals from his accolades growing up like a lot of the other players in the SHL. However, he was persistent enough that his hard work eventually got him into the big leagues. After some reservations the Edmonton Blizzard finally decided to pull the trigger on Tor in one of the weakest draft classes in semi-recent history. The rest just fell into place for Tor Tuck and he has been a contributing, serviceable defender in the league for the Blizzard since.
