Nearly all of the mating partners on the Whalers are of a male variety, but my particular mating partner is of the female variety. When I arrived on earth it quickly became clear that it was the female variety that ruled most things, while allowing the males to believe that they have been in charge. It is quite a fascinating social setup that even the humans do not full seem to understand.

Sarah Burke and I have made an excellent combination on the second pairing in Vancouver. She has managed to teach me a lot about being a very balanced defenseindividual in the game of ice hockey. Her defensive read, stamina and strength are among the tops on the roster, while her passing, puckhandling, and acceleration have given her a multitude of opportunities to score at the other end of the ice as well. Though my neural upgrades are not anywhere close to what hers are I have been fortunate enough to play alongside her and learn much about the way of the ice hockey.

For this reason it is clear that the defense pair of Sarah Burke and Narboza Manyhands is the most formidable of pairings that I have experienced in my limited time with the humans.
