Emilia Bergman -- as I've described in an article maybe a year and some change ago - was formerly a competitive figure skater. Her unexpected event came at the Junior World Championship in Bulgaria (and shortly thereafter) as a teenager: after neatly finishing a double axel, she found her landing to take a bit too long and found herself barreling into the side of the rink, effectively ending her run at the championship and embarrassing herself on nationally-shown Swedish TV. For days and weeks after the even, she was sullen and heartbroken -- but a second surprise ended up providing her with another opportunity to see the ice. Her friend Sigrid opted to try to get Emilia off of her lazy butt (as she had little motivation to skate after her mishap at worlds), and she was shown hockey on a random off-day instead of sulking her embarrassment away. The rest, as they say, was history: Emilia was convinced that she could show the neighborhood hockey kids a thing or two about skating, and with time she grew increasingly dedicated to the sport before eventually becoming noteworthy enough to declare for the SMJHL Draft just a handful of years later!
