Lonnie O'Donoghue comes from a small town in Canada called Flin Flon. Flin Flon has a long history when it comes to producing hockey players that can play at a reasonable decent level, and that's why it was confusing when Lonnie got the message from his high school coach asking him to come in and talk to the kids and give a speech. "Why me?" He though as he sat down to write a speech that could compel these kids to follow their dreams and always work hard no matter what they are doing. He spent hours going over what he had written, then finally the big day came. As he was melting these kids' minds with this amazing speech they clearly seemed super bored with most of the kids having glazed over eyes and teachers waking up dozing off kids. Do, in a last ditch effort to gain the apporval of these high school kids he will never see again in his life he ended the speech early and opened a Q&A where he received many questions about other players that were better than Lonnie with almost nothing to do with him.
