I'm traveling back to my hometown of Portland, Maine, and Portland High School, to give the student body a little speech about what it takes to be a big league player. We haven't produced any sports talent at the next level for like 20 years, so its a big deal that I'm fictionally playing professional hockey for the Kelowna Knights. During my speech I'd outline how many sacrifices it takes to be a professional hockey player. My player had to move from Portland to Quebec in his junior year of high school, due to the fact that scouts wouldn't even sniff the Maine hockey scene due to the low level of play. That meant having to make new friends, learn a new language, and move to a foreign country. Along with that, I have to spend nearly double my yearly contract just to meet with a former NHL player once a season to watch some film. $4 million dollars, to watch some film. Crazy.
