Mikael Choybuk was always into hockey, and you can ask anyone that. From the first time he saw the NHL live on TV, he was a huge fan. He was always a big fan of the superstar snipers in the league, like Alex Ovechkin, Ilya Kovalchuk, Vlad Tarasenko, or Pavel Bure and Steven Stamkos. Gripping it and ripping it top cheddar was always something he found amazing, so as a young kid he would practice that very often. Starting in his living room at 3 years old with some of those little floor hockey setups, he would play at it all day. This transitioned to him wanting very much to play ice hockey, so his parents got him into skating at as a kid as well. He was on the ice as a toddler with a stick in his hands, obviously falling over a lot at that point. But with practice, practice, and more practice he was able to put things together and find that he possessed a very hard wrist shot even before he was 10 years old. He was not the most dynamic skater at a young age, but everyone knew if you gave him the puck, he could beat any goaltender.
