What a crazy night at the Vancouver Whalers Halloween party. It might've been because of all the booze rookie goaltender Jon St. Ark brought, but Sato could barely remember a thing. The night started out like any other night. Everyone was coming to the party with their outfits. Name Redacted was in a hand sanitizer costume... or maybe it was a hazmat suit, Sato's memory was very foggy. Then there was Luffy Richard who had "Boats Bad" as the theme of his costume before quickly running off yelling "I got a shit." Sato turned up in a Borat costume to which he was embarrassed to see a couple of his fellow teammates wearing the same costume too! Flustered, Ryosuke thankfully brought a backup costume because Luffy told him something about dressing up as a Canadian historical figure in Canada. Now rocking a Stan Rogers costume, singing "Northwest Passage" loud and proud, Sato and the boys began to drink away.

Being 5'7", 150lbs, Ryosuke was a lightweight... like a SUPER lightweight. Regardless though he went hard on the liquor and this is where his memory got a little spotty. Just faint memories of what happened that night include his teammates changing costumes a couple times, their GM showing up in an elf costume (?), and singing "Northwest Passage" loud and proud all night on the karaoke machine (thankfully the team made their Halloween visit to the BC Children's Hospital BEFORE he got hammered). It didn't take long before Sato was just about ready to pass out, but before he did, he managed to call in to the Toronto North Stars Halloween party. From what his teammates told him the following day, Ryosuke just spoke a bunch a gibberish and wished them all a "Happy Halloween" before dropping the phone on the ground.
