While many things are happening with Zidane, only one event truly stands out as an unexpected surprise. Zidane was prepared to be the next defensive unit in St Louis for his whole juniors career. While he did play a season with the Scarecrows, something felt off. He didn't feel like the team was heading in the right direction and unexpectedly, asked to be traded before the start of his sophomore season. Zidane's manager has had strong ties to St Louis and got Zidane to their rinks for early looks. Hence why St Louis took him first overall in the S57 SMJHL Entry draft. Hence why it was a big surprise when he asked out. Though no real reason was given as to caused this, Zidane remains confident that it was the right decision for himself as a person and a player. Zidane was traded to Anchorage where he has been partnered with the offensive threat of Gregory Goode. The two are complete opposites in terms of play style and it seems to work perfectly.
