I'll sum it up with this bit from just after the Outlaws won the Cup, as taken directly from this media piece:

Quote:MS: OK, that's enough, McCloud. I've tolerated your weirdness for far too long. I'll be leaving this team next season, my major team is promoting me and I demand, as a goodbye gift, that you behave like a proper hockey player.
The rest of the locker room remained silent, impressed.
McCloud sighed.
He placed his hands around his helmet.
The Irish Ninja took off his helmet.
They finally got to see what was underneath that helmet. Shaggy black hair, scars on most of his face, including a bad looking one near his left eye and two that made a cross on his right cheek. He had brown pupils and his skin looked slightly pale, a result of being hidden under so much stuff.
And then he cried.
YmC: ...The normal hockey player will miss you all. Let me be weird, it hurts less.
MS: ...I didn't know.
YmC: It's fine. I'll forgive you if you share with me some Swiss gold.
Seger shook his head, facepalming but with a slight smile on his face.
The rest of the team laughed a bit. For a second there, it seemed like McCloud was a wreck, a sad person, something not very fitting of the happy-go-lucky ninja they were all used to.
Yoshimitsu took a sip from one of the beer cans. Behind him, the screen of the television flashed a "You Win!" message.
MS: ...Did you just beat another scrub?
YmC: Have some respect, that was an online user and possible fan I just beat.
MR: But you weren't looking at the screen!
YmC: An ancient ninja secret.
MS: McCloud!
The Swiss shook his closed fist at his direction.
Some things never changed.
McCloud was still weird.

I loved my time at the Juniors, the locker room guys were (and still are) great lads and I feel like I will always owe them one for letting me grow and remain in the league, in spite of never being a great name or anything of the like. The jump to the majors was a bit rough, in all fairness: I played for the Pride in a bit of a lull season and was also there for a season where we topped the tables and then went down early on the playoffs. Of course, my first season with the Platoon so far did not exactly end very well but I'm happy with my teammates and just hope that we will do much better next season.

Also... yeah, gave me loads of material to write about too.
