PROMPT 1:
Lias has wanted to play hockey since he was really little (yes, he's still not exactly LARGE, he knows). But ever since he was a little kid, he has loved everything about the sport. He loves the community of it; being part of a team, fighting for that team, winning together and losing together (which is way better than just losing alone). Some of his earliest memories are of learning to skate, of loving the way he felt like he could skate so much faster than he would ever be able to run. His parents played a large part in it too; his mothers sent him to Gunnar Söderberg's youth camps as soon as he was old enough to attend them, and tried to help him with all of the off-season stuff too, like making sure he had all the right equipment, and making sure he was able to afford to travel to play when he needed to. They didn't make a huge amount of money but the whole family definitely chipped in to make sure Lias was able to pursue his dreams.
