We've seen instances of many of the attributes being useful off the ice, one that comes to mind is bravery being shown in the former Ottawa Senators defenseman Mark Borowiecki stopping a robbery in Vancouver. For Quebec City Citadelles goalie and Chicago Syndicate prospect Mat Smith though, he takes great pride in his reflexes. A wine glass starts to fall? Smith is there to catch it. The ketchup bottle gets knocked off the table? It's in Smith's hands before it hits the floor. Someone takes a shot on him in Rocket League? What a save! Weirdly though Smith is way better at catching stuff with his glove hand than his blocker hand. Someone throws a ball at his blocker side and instead of catching it, Smith's immediate reaction is to backhand it away as hard as he can. This has resulted in many hand injuries over the years for Smith, and as a result he uses an extra padded blocker.
