Honestly, one of the most unexpected things to happen to Jon St. Ark's life is how he became a goalie in the first place. Growing up in Austria, Jon wasn't a goalie originally. He actually started out on on the right side for the defense for his local team growing up in Innsbruck. He was better than average, but not someone with significant enough talent to eventually go pro and make millions of dollars. Decent stick work, but the shot was inaccurate and he wasn't very fast on his skates. When he was 14 years old, however, there was an issue with both goalies for their young team. In a panic, the coach went to the squad and asked if anyone had experience at goal and might be able to fill in. With the rest of the locker room silent, Jon raised his hand as he had practiced a bit between the pipes. Borrowing some gear, Jon started in net that night and never looked back.
