Moving anywhere is difficult. Moving to the opposite side of the country is even more difficult. When Pyotr Gallen finished his fourth and final SMJHL season with Vancouver, they knew that they had to start looking at real estate in Hamilton for when they got the callup to the Steelhawks. While Gallen looks for places to live in and around the GTA, they primarily look for one thing in an apartment: enough space to comfortably support living on their own.

"When did real estate get so expensive?"

Eventually, Gallen did find a place in Hamilton around 5 miles from the Steelhawks' arena. The move, however, was the biggest challenge to face since Pyotr still didn't own any vehicle yet.

"Hi, I was wondering if I could rent a U-Haul in the largest size that your company provides..."

Gallen loaded up all of their stuff into a U-Haul (that still might not have fit it all) and drove 4300 kilometers (!) across the continent to their new home in Hamilton. Unpacking all the stuff? Meh, that's a tomorrow issue.
