Written Task: So where do you live while the season is actually going on? In a condo near the arena? Is your current team the place you've been for a long time? Do you have a permanent home there? Either way, what does it look like? What kind of living situation does your player prefer and why? If they've been traded or signed to a new team or moved from the SMJHL to the SHL at any point, talk about what the move was like! How did they go about choosing a new place to live? (150+ words)




So where does Hirano live right now? Between a rock and a hard place to be quite honest. The reason being is there is no way to say it but Maine is an interesting place to live and is far far away from his SHL team in Montreal and at the end of the day he still lives in his trailer for travel purposes. Juniors does not pay exactly a high amount but let me tell you it’s going to be rough once the ship has sailed and Hirano gets called up to the big leagues. In the summer he’s usually in Japan with the folks back home but during the season he just lives in a Walmart parking lot with a truck and trailer wombo combo which isn’t awful but sometimes you just gotta feel for Hirano who does not exactly feel at home in North America. At his home in Japan life is easy because he has a place to stay but in North America he has to fend for himself in a land of language which is not his native younger. None the less he has been getting better with his English and at the end of the day I think he will adapt overcome and continue the big W.
