When the local Montreal GM's Son walked into the Vancouver Whalers locker room for his first day after being drafted by the team, the older team members began to make sure he received a proper juniors hazing welcome. First they blindfolded him and took him to a secret, players-only area within the Whalers practice facility, an area where not even the team's staff or ownership is allowed to go. They then removed the blindfold, where he saw his fellow rookies, the group alone in the center of a darkened room with only a spotlight on the area where they stood. Only a singular object was there in the room with them - a large keg of beer. The rookies all nodded at each other, as they knew what they had to do. One by one, the rookies each did a keg stand while the rest of the team cheered them on. When it was over, the team turned the lights on and a party began.
