Graj Virrok was never really into hockey at a young age. He knew that it existed but didn't know a lot about it. Then one day, his father took him to see his first game, and he was hooked. It was just a pickup game between his father's friends and a crew from the next city over, but Graj was hooked from the moment he saw a beautiful passing play that ended up in a player assisting himself for a goal that slotted in the bottom right post. After that, Graj was hooked and never looked back. In just a year, his puckhandling skills were among the best in the pickup leagues around, and a few months later he would be considered the best defenseman in the county. He signed up for official leagues, and that was that. The extra challenge made him even better in an iron sharpens iron sense, and he never looked back on his way to his SHL career.
