During the off-season Disisde Dayudie spent a lot of time in his hometime of Matsumoto, Japan. He was asked by his junior team to create some publicity for the club and hockey in general, so he booked the gymnasium of every school in the city to tell the kids about his story and what hockey has done for him. He told the kids about how he used his martial arts background to get an edge in the sport, and how it has led him to become a player just on the verge of breaking out into a star, and he's not even close to his prime yet. He told them all about how if you work hard you can make something of yourself, the future doesn't have to be farming or sitting in front of a screen all day, hockey is a real choice.

He was met with mixed reactions, hockey is not very popular in Japan. There were however some kids that showed some interest, which led to there being more sign-ups for the hockey schools around the city, so mission accomplished!
