As Paul Bondage walked into the locker room in Kelowna for the first time, he was delighted to see the color scheme hitting just right. The green and gold was always a fine combination to him. There's a couple players who give him a friendly hello as he walks over to his spot on the bench. There before him is none other than a shiny sword. "Oh yeah, everyone gets one of those, welcome to the team newbie", one of the players remarks to him. This wasn't just some plastic toy to smack your teammates around with, this was a legitimate steel, sharp-edged sword. He was a bit taken aback, feeling almost like he wasn't even worthy of this yet as he had yet to even put on the team's jersey. Still, he knew he had big skates to step into. It was clear how much the team's management believed in him and his teammates to bring the cup back to Kelowna.
