Mito didn't expect his career to go the way it did. When he was drafted into the SHL, he had it on his mind he would only be down in the juniors for a few seasons at most. Then he started to fall behind his peers, and realized that he wouldn't get that SHL call up. So he started to find a nice home in the Kelowna area, hoping to continue his hockey career in the city that has been his home for years. When searching for his home, he wanted one thing. For it to be close to the arena, so he could continue to support the organization and hopefully join the organization in a different role once he aged out of the league and retired from playing. He was able to find a home only 5 minutes away from the arena, while also being 10 minutes from a local ice rink that he could help run hockey camps out of.
